Hazelnut bush – fruits and uses
Hazelnut bushes produce nuts that are rich in flavor and nutrients. The nuts can be eaten fresh, roasted, or used in baked goods and confections. Harvest typically occurs in late summer and fall, when the nuts are brown and easily peelable.
Hazelnut bushes can be planted individually, in groups or as a hedge, providing both a decorative element and a functional use of the garden.
Planting and care
Hazelnuts are large, vigorous shrubs that should be planted in groups of at least 2. It is important to have two different varieties to ensure good cross-pollination and as many nuts as possible.
Grafted hazel does not form root shoots when they are on a coryllus colurna rootstock. This is an advantage as a true-rooted hazel can produce a lot of root shoots.
Hazel bushes require minimal maintenance, but proper planting and soil conditions ensure optimal growth and fruit yield. The bushes thrive best in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil and can be shaped with light pruning to stimulate new growth and improve air circulation.
Watering during dry periods and removing dead or damaged material supports health and longevity.
