Wepster Filbert Hazelnut

I planted "Wepster" hazelnut from Raintree Nursery in spring 2019. Now it is mature tee of 10 ft tall and produces tasty nuts. Nuts are not large, but there is very little free space between shell and kernel. Therefore, kernels are of comparable size to industrial hazelnuts, just 10-20% smaller. However, the flavor is wonderful. The tree is healthy, I see no signs of blight or any other disease. Wery well crosspollinate with "McDonald" hazelnut.

They are good. large trees. This is a good company.

My hazelnuts didn't arrive until more than a month after I had ordered them - they were completely dried out, with all leaves dead. Raintree's refund policy states that it will approve claims for potted plants that have leafed out but arrive dead, but it refused to give me a refund, insisting that I plant the hazelnut and keep watering it for a month before they'd consider whether to give me a refund.

This plant arrived with its leaves dead. Rather than replacing it, Raintree told me to wait it out and that it would "probably" leaf out. Even if it does, this results in a plant that is greatly weakened and probably can't be planted out until the end of the season. This isn't what I paid for and I'm disappointed that they didn't replace the plant.

Great healthy plant.

Trees came with an infestation of aphids. The company said use dish soap, I did but it didn’t help.

Hazelnuts bushes arrived looking absolutely healthy, larger than I expected, and are growing wonderfully. Very happy with my purchase. Only wish I had ordered them earlier because Spring is a busy time for shipments, and I had to wait for them several weeks, and missed the early Spring planting time. But over all I give the plants 5 stars.

In general tree came in a fair condition, some of the leaves were yellowish. Planted it right away. It is still getting used to new soil & it was hit by freezing temps.
