Hybrid Hazelnuts in the Midwest with Mark Shepard

- The Midwest hazelnut market is well-positioned to expand dramatically as the global demand increases. One farmer, Mark Shepard, started growing hazelnuts on New Forest Farm in the early 90s as a research nursery devoted to breeding productive, hardy cold-climate hybrids. New Forest Farm is a commercial-scale, perennial agricultural ecosystem using oak savanna, successional brushland, and eastern woodlands as the ecological models. Check out this video and find out what Mark has learned after 30 years of growing hazelnuts.

I bought some hazelnut hybrids from Mark Shepard's nursery and they are producing better than any native hazelnuts I planed from Missouri Conservation. Glad to support his nursery working toward better hazelnut production.
Do want
Man is wish Mark had more recent content like this on youtube. I've been missing him :(.
Thanks for sharing this hazelnut education with Mark, Savanna Institute Team. Nebraska growers are hungry for this content and instruction with Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Society at our Healthy Farms Conference on Feb, 3-6 2022.
We have hazelnut breeding programme in order to obtain cultivars combining high and equable yields with good aptitudes for in-shell or shelled markets. By the hybridization between cultivar `Istarski duguljasti' without suckers and Italian cultivars: `Tonda Romana', `Camponica' and `Nocchione' new hybrids were produced. Some of them have round-shaped fruit and are without suckers. Our examination of field trials revealed several hybrids with round-shaped fruit and without suckering. Drought periods during the growing season in Croatia occur frequently, and there is no possibility for irrigation. Because of this, fruit drop is higher and kernel percentage is smaller. Rootstock Corylus colurna develops a large root system that is distributed deeper in the soil, so it has better resistance to drought. Besides, trees grafted on this rootstock are more vigorous. It is very important to determine the degree of compatibility for some cultivars and the influence of the rootstock on cultivar growth and productivity. All the best from CCRES team Croatia.
At 2:55, the hybrid that Mark is talking about SOUNDS like the 'Jefferson' cultivar, which is the main cultivar that I am growing in 7a, along with 'Yamhill' and 'Eta' in smaller numbers, for late bloom pollination. These trees sure are eager to get growing; they start budding out while my redbuds are still dormant.
I'd like to grow some here in SC, Zone 8b. As an historian of the traditional trades, I'd like to see bringing back a bit of the hazel coppicing you see so prevalent in Europe. They use the stems for all manner of things around the homestead, so even if the nut size isn't spectacular, there's much that can be done with the wood. If, that is, the American Hazelnut has the same characteristics as their British cousins.
I have a number of varieties growing on my farm in North Central Mississippi, zone 7.
This is the 4th year and about half had nuts this year. Going into the 2021 fall now, ALL varieties have catkins on them.
Really excited to see how they progress next year!
Wow. What was the name of the super-hardy varities bred in Minnesota..?`
Amazing info.
What are the names of those two varieties? I’d like to start a small hazelnut orchard in Virginia to make oil from. Any suggestions of varieties and where I can get nuts to start sprouting?
we have the multi branch here in the north west Canada they grow every were.Wild
Hey Rusty, I'm in Ontario and have grown a mixed variety of hazels (Hazelberts) for 6-8 years. Most of mine are from Grimos here in Ontario. I'm north in a colder zone (5a Canada) and although they grow, nut production is spotty likely due to the cold. I would be interested to know what kind of nuts the hazels up your way produce and if they produce each year, what zone you are in and are they available commercially?
@@billastell3753 Hello we are in zone 3a-3b Edmonton Alberta. I grew up just east of Sherwood park .i would say we have the american ,more of a shub bunched together little prickles and hard to pick until ripe .I would say they grow as big as a nickle .Also they grow like a bad weed here no shortage. But they grow every where wild from here to the mountains and much farther north.Im not sure if they are grown commercially...................but maybe this will help .I was picking these back when i was little 8-10 now im 57.

As far as hedgerows, is this woven style or freegrown?
He does not give the name of the tree variety or where to obtain it.
You can buy his seedlings in a bundle of 25 from Forest Agriculture enterprises.
Can they be grown in Northeast Texas? I have heard both yes and no. I am looking for a definitive answer.
I can't give a definite beyond the fact that I'm definitely going to try them.
Even if one tree is sick, other roots will likely survive. Therefore, it is more successful in multi-trunk disease resistance than a single-trunk tree.
Leaves, fruit, and stem look healthy, but I see a lot of incorrect pruning.
By searching in Turkish, you can get good results for "fındık budama eğitimi". I wish you success.
MARK, where can i buy that type of HAZEL NUT? it sounds like it would thrive really well here in central UPPER PENINSULA of MICHIGAN! if you need any one to trial them in U.S.D.A zone 4 i`m willing to give it a shot/boost. who would i have to contact for more information? great video
Seconded, I’d buy some of your hybrid seeds if they were for sale
NE ohio here...try burnt ridge nursery in Washington state they sell them...mine are 5 years old and productive
@@Aricbetchtel2938 thank you for the tip
@@yoopermann7942 question. Are you looking for a fast growing nut for the deer. I’m in the UP near big bay De Noc. Trying to find additional trees for my hunting property. Just curious. Thanks
@@Craigh4597 i was looking for a variety that would produce a big tasty nut to eat, i figured if it was good enough for me then the wild life would eat some also, i`m between chatham and marquette
Hi I would like to find out the weather I am in never gets below 15 Celsius and upto 35-38 in summer is there a variety of hazelnut that would grow in warmer climates
İ don't think so hazelnut needs cold a period of time depends on its kind. 15 c not enough cold. Where are you live in ekvator belt?
Where is the best place to get Americanized hazelnuts?
Please tell
Do you know anything about hazelnuts in the south? I'm in Central Arkansas zone 7b. I've got about 20 Yamhill seedlings that I grew from seed and are in their 3rd year and 50 American hazelnuts that I got bare root from the MO forrest service last month. They seem to be growing well but I can't find any information on growing them in the south. Any pointers?
Jefferson is the seeds i got. Not yamhill
Can you single stem the American variety?
Would those 7 and warmer be what I may have from MO?
Hazlenuts or analogues for dryland climates?
Looking to graft to cornuta var. California any thoughts?
