Andrew Hazelnut

Hazelnuts are currently attracting lots of attention and for good reason. But even without considering the possible confectionery or snack market, this versatile shrubby tree offers multiple possibilities. Since the kernels are high in both oil and protein, they could potentially replace soybeans. Recent research indicates that hazelnuts produced the most oil per acre of any perennial plant. Even hazelnut shells can be used as fuel as they have almost twice the BTU as wood.

Our superior northern seedlings were selected for their resistance to

disease and their comparable nut quality. With their dense, beautiful

foliage, hazelnut seedlings are especially useful for creating a hedge or windbreak. Mature height 2.5-3.5m (8-12')
