Bare root, 1 year old seedlings. Hybrid hazelnut is a wind-pollinated shrub and fruiting is best when several shrubs are planted in close proximity.
Very limited amount of hybrid hazelnuts available this year. Squirrels got to the nuts this Spring!
This year’s offerings are sourced from the Prodigy collection at Z’s Nutty Ridge
Prodigy: Seed originates from breeding work at Z’s Nutty Ridge. Prodigy is a cross-pollination collective. Here is what they have to say about Prodigy:
We have been doing controlled crosses from only the very best of many thousands of trees we have planted. We crossed the best mom and dad trees and planted the resulting seeds. We eliminate any tree we do not find has acceptable characteristics. The best trees we are selling seeds from and most likely the pollen came from other Prodigy trees. Husks are generally short and thin to medium shells with nuts medium to large. Parent tree height varies from 6 to 12 feet after 10 years.
