Hybrid Hazelnut
Hazelnuts are small bush-like trees that produce excellent cover and food production for wildlife. Their nuts are 1/2 - 1 in diameter and delicious for both humans and wildlife. Nuts ripen in fall, late August- Oct and are favorites for deer, turkey, and many other species. Production begins in as little as 3 years. Mature hazelnuts can produce upwards of 25lbs of nuts each year. Hazelnuts only reach around 8-15 ft tall at maturity.
Our hazelnuts are a hybrid variety produced by the cross-breeding of American hazelnuts with European varieties to produce a blight resistant variety that produces heavily and is easy to grow. Other varieties of hazelnuts that are not resistant to eastern filbert blight (EFB) will likely die from this disease before reaching maturity. With our hybrids, you wont have to worry about losing your hazelnuts to this blight.
Plant each tree with one of our Survival Kits (a Tree Pro tube and a slow-release fertilizer block), follow our planting instructions, and it’s covered by our 1-Year Survival Guarantee. Full details here.

Add Late Drop and keep chestnuts falling into December.
By November most acorns have been mopped up and the woods go quiet. Late Drop Hybrids are selected to drop Nov–late Dec, right when deer have the fewest options. Our recommendation: a 1:1 mix.
