- Growing hazelnuts (filberts) at home or on a small farm can be easy, but it's different from how it's done on large commercial nut orchards. We grow our hazelnuts as multi-stemmed bushes, not as trees with a single trunk. This allows us to harvest them by hand as soon as they are ripe, before the jays and squirrels have a chance to strip the trees. Unlike other nuts, hazelnuts ripen in summer, not fall. Watch as Michael Dolan explains how we grow and harvest hazelnuts on a small organic farm.
Just bought 25 hazelnut trees. So excited.
Now is it worth spending time..?
You better let me get some from you when they come....I need them for these Squirrels I got.
I want some to.
Where abouts are you?
@@moniquevandeplas5210 Missouri. Unfortunately all of my trees died this summer. Too hot and dry dry dry. I kept them watered but we are 10" behind on rain so the surrounding soil just sucked up the water. I was even watering with PVC pipes under the plants. I had 2 year old apply trees that were well-rooted die this summer.
For me this is quality content, thanks!
Superb Very education. I live in the UK had on of these Red leaf variety in the front garden, used to cut it back as it would ground fast and up to about 10-12 foot high. One day a Cypriot friend informed me it's a Hazelnut tree./bush, while pulling a spout from the bush. This post confirmed it's true. I will try and harvest at the right time. Looks like there are about 20 spouts on each branch, with about 12 branches, expect about 240 nuts. Thank you for sharing.
Greetings from upstate NY and thanks for the video
Brilliant harvesting information thanks.
Thanks, great video
This is great information!
Thank you
I moved to Arizona from Washington and decided to try hazelnuts down here (8b) to see if they will grow. I planted them 3 years ago, pretty sure I bought them from y'all, and so far my trees are about 4ft high and I see my first nuts (although its just one little clutch lol.)
I’m on board. This guy just schooled me in hazelnuts
Succes! 👍
Recently watched a documentary about ancient peoples, and hazelnut was found to be a staple all across Europe for over 8000 years. Millions of calories would be gathered and they cleared land to grow the bushes.
I just planted a larger hazelnut "bush" and they started growing already!! Wanted to see when I'm able to harvest, awesome they flower even in summer!! Great information, thank you!!
I leave them to fall to the ground. Best tasting hazelnuts ever.
I managed to nab some large hazelnuts (what I grew up calling filberts) and they were already brown. I thought it was odd that no squirrels had gotten them yet. I wanted to try growing some more trees. But for some reason the seeds inside were not fully developed. I'm bummed. Does make me wonder if the squirrels somehow knew they were bad. lol I figured they had just not finished up with the large English walnut trees.
Not even in the Hazel family... We always referred to them as Filbert's here in Oregon. They are harvested around the feast of St. Filibertus... 🧹🐈 🐈⬛🐖
👍👍👍
Are you going to have a video on how to start Hazelnut trees? Can you start trees from cuttings or just by planting the nut? You got me excited now.
Edible acres and twisted tree farm in New York both have good videos on propagation of hazlenuts.
We go over seed propagation in this video: czcams.com/video/cdLf01966k4/video.html . I'm hoping to do one on layer propagation, which we do for self-rooted hazelnuts and chestnuts, sometime next year.
Ordered a hazelnut tree from you guys this year excited to plant it!
Черенок можно укоренить , но он должен быть толще большого пальца и длиной с руку .
И сажать такой толстый черенок нужно за 1 месяц до распускания почек , и нужен частый полив в течении всего лета
I have always found the trees to give spurs, which you can split out of season. Just done one. Nice to obtain two trees for one, and that will continue
How old are they where they start producing?

Great information. Can i plant two theta hazelnut shrubs (same verities) 15 feet apart on my hobby farm and be good with pollination?
15 feet is close enough, but you'll need to plant two different varieties for cross-pollination. Good partners for Theta would include Jefferson, Dorris, Felix, Yamhill, York, and most other named varieties.
Leave some for the wildlife ❤❤❤
hii sir what is your hazelnut orchard elevation from sea level and what is the chilling hour requirement for this variety (please name the variety as well thank you
Harvesting my first nuts this fall. How do you roast them?
So am I. Looking for tips. 🌼
Just shell them and eat and you will find that the taste is out of this world
Okay so your in The Pacific North West. Around Sequim, P.A., Forks, Port Townsend, Silverdale, and Seattle. My Hazel Shrub doesn't have Any Nuts And I was wondering if I could take a Cutting and Propagate another 1 That way, So I could get some Nuts. And if so How?
If your existing hazelnut is not producing nuts, you may need to plant another for cross-pollination. The pollinator has to be genetically different, so propagating a cutting (cloning) your existing tree would not be sufficient. A hazelnut seedling, or any clonal named variety (other than what you may have already) would be the best pollinator.
@@burntridgenursery591 Okay Thanks
How do you dehusk them?
Buy a pair of nutcrackers. The brown shell gets very hard and has to be cracked open.
Having problems in having nuts to be produced on my trees

It is hopeless, the squirrels eat them while they are green. Way before they are edible to humans. They do not care they are wasting immature nuts. Just grab anything before another one can!
Fried squirrel is quite tasty.
