About Mixed hybrid seedlings
Open-pollinated plants that provide genetic diversity to your grove, ensuring good pollenization. The mother plants have slightly smaller yields than Harvey and Guinevere, but still above average. Because these seedlings are open-pollinated, there is no guarantee they will perform like their mothers.
Depends on wind for pollenization, so plant in block formation for best production with 12–15’ between to access all sides during harvest, or closer to make a nice hedge. Nut production begins at 3–4 years, peaks at 8–10 years. Provides excellent food and shelter for wildlife. From Nine Hazels Farm in Lake City, Minnesota.
About Hazelnut, Hybrid
Large shrub producing clusters of husked nuts. Hybrids combine the large nuts of the European filbert with the hardiness and blight-resistance of native American and beaked hazelnuts. Not self-fruitful, so plant at least two different varieties.
