Hybrid Hazelnut Badgersett Selection
Hybrid Hazelnut Badgersett Selection
A cross between European and American hazelnuts sourced from Experimental Farm Network with expressed consent from Badgersett farm.
These seedlings represent the work by Badgersett Farm in developing a population of Hazelnut genetics that will produce disease and pest resistant shrubs that will produce abundant annual crops of thin shelled, medium to large nuts. Selected for bearing early (3years) and growing 10’ to 12’ tall. Expect variation in their growth and productivity, this is a great group of seedlings to start selecting for our own regionally adapted Hybrid Hazelnut.
Grown on the farm in air prune beds, to promote vigorous, fibrous root growth.
Hazelnut is sold bare root and thrives in Ph neutral, well drained soil.
The seed is from complex hybrid chestnuts from Route 9 Cooperative in Carrollton, Ohio . Highly disease resistant, cold hardy to -25 degrees Fahrenheit. From seed, it will produce annual crops of nuts in 5 years and reach full production in 15-20 years. Long lived and a great choice for landscape and orchard planting.
Grown by Doug in air prune beds, to promote vigorous, fibrous root growth.
Seedlings will be stored and be shipped in the spring based on the receiving address last frost date unless specific dates are requested. They will arrive bare root and thrive in acidic, well drained soil.
We don’t ship Chestnuts to CA, WA, OR, FL, MI, or LA due to quarantine restrictions.
