Hazelnut

You can hardly meet a person who doesn’t like various nuts. They are especially important for vegetarians because they are a source of protein and a large amount of nutrients. Hazelnuts are considered one of the most popular nuts. Few people know, but hazelnuts are called hazelnuts, and hazelnuts are the name given to cultivated species of this plant.

Unlike wild hazel, hazelnuts bear fruit consistently, and maximum yield is observed when the bush is about 10-25 years old. The shrub is a cross-pollinated plant, so it is recommended to plant several bushes of different varieties on the site. It is worth noting that hazelnuts will do well in open areas with good access to direct sunlight. It is recommended to plant the shrub along the edge of the site, excluding the southern slopes.

Hazelnut propagation is carried out both using seeds and vegetatively. Please note that hazelnut seedlings are used mainly for rootstocks, and all varietal properties are preserved only when grafting and growing plants from layerings.
