QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • Are hazelnuts suitable for south carolina? what varieties are proven? thanks

    Yes, any of the blight resistant cultivars should do fine. You need at least two varieties.

  • I live in Dallas, Texas with clay soil. Will hazelnut trees do well in my area? Are they invasive?

    Hazelnuts are extremely difficult to grow in Texas and would not be considered invasive due to their high mortality rate.

  • I have a native hazelnut growing in my yard (Western WA) that doesn’t bear. Would this tree be a good pollinizer for a native tree?

    Your local native hazelnut is self-fertile and usually cross pollinates with another beaked hazel. McDonald has a different parentage.

  • Hello, once planted, how long will it take to harvest on your walnut trees?

    Hazelnuts usually begin setting a good crop within 5 years. Walnuts take more like 10 years.

  • How old and How tall are these saplings?

    18-24" in pots.

  • Are MacDonald, Wepster and Polly-o available for shipping to Califfornia?

    Yes they are!

    12"-24" when shipped in a pot
