Not bad for a first harvest. Eric.
Thanks!
Oh my! Hazelnuts are my absolute favorite. I wonder if Hazelnut trees need a male & female tree? I never knew Hazelnuts grew in colder climes. If I’d known I’d have had Hazelnut trees for the past 30 years! Thanks for the education.
The trees do need to cross pollinate, but don't necessarily have a male and female tree. I'm looking forward to the next harvest already! :😀
The trees are both male and female on each tree but most need another trees pollen to improve fertilization.
Hi! Nice harvest, too bad you had to go through the disappointment of the empty shells! I grow these in Québec, I too had my first harvest, this year! The squirrels (or birds) left me one cluster with four nuts on it! It's a plant that I love, and I also grow another species of Corylus, the beaked hazel which has not produced for me yet, but I'm not rushing it!
That was so nice of the animals to share with you. Lol :-)
As they mature they will have more and more full nuts. Give them another 2-3 years also the closer they are the better for pollination they are wind pollinated.
Thank you! I look forward to it. :-)
I grow these have around 250 bushes my bushes are loaded I'm now starting to harvest them hoping to have around 500 pounds I'm in northern Missouri
Wow, that's fantastic!
2 pounds per bush youd say or theres some more abundant than others?
@@antoniobennett5330 not sure how many were on each some only had a few others had more
How long it takes after planting to have actual nuts on them
Any special fertilizer you give them
@@mayflower19521 by age 3 they start having some by age 5 to 7 they will be having full crop mine are the wild hazelnuts that I brought from the Conservation in Missouri
I grow a couple of macadamia and a pecan tree. The pecan after 5 1/2 years produced its first few nuts. In following years it will produce more. The flavour of the fresh pecans off my yard pecan tree I thought were better tasting than roasted macadamia nuts. My favourite nut would be a tie between a cashew and an English walnut, although I have heard some people in the US say a black walnut tastes better than an English walnut. Black walnuts to my knowledge aren’t grown here in Aussie. It is possible the hazelnuts which were blanks didn’t receive enough water during the summer, thus no kernel. That phenomenon of no kernel inside the hazelnut shell also can happen with pistachios when irrigation is turned off in the summer. The nut kernel requires water in the summer otherwise it may not form at all or only partly.
Thank you for the watering tip! Our soil is very sandy and dries out quickly. I may need to run a soaker hose out there. Interesting how we all have our favorite nuts. I don't think I've ever had an English walnut.
@@FlannelAcres The English walnut seems to be the phrase that many use to designate the common or Persian walnut. In Australia the English walnut is just known as the walnut. Most "English" walnuts grown in Australia are usually varieties developed in California or sometimes French varieties. Six months ago I visited Tasmania where I tasted some of the best walnuts I have ever tried. The Californian varieties such as Chandler, Howard, Hartley, Tulare, Vina, Lara, Serr and Ashley are grown in NSW and Tasmania as well as some of the newer lateral bearing French varieties.
They are both a tree and a bush, if you just make a central stalk it will be a tree, like she has it it's a bush.
She got two different kinds, because you need two varieties to cross pollinate. I just planted 4 varieties today.
You'll get maybe 15 to 25 pounds per tree when they are mature.
Thank You for introducing me to this world of fresh harvest. I've never tasted these nuts ever other than from Nutella. Please, do an update again on the produce the next time.
Bug cheers from India 🇮🇳
My pleasure! I do hope to post about this year's harvest.
So you know these are bushes also the long vriw cakkins pollennate the flowers on the bushes by wind each year as they get older you should be getting more on them
I am a hobby nut grower myself and am very interested to know what varieties of hazelnuts you grow. I grow several macadamia, a pecan which has nutted for the first time nearly 6 years after planting as it’s a seedling tree and a containerised English walnut which I don’t have the garden space to plant in the ground. My favourite nut is a tie between the English walnut, must be fresh and cashew nut. I like all nuts but also particularly the Iranian variety kalegouchi pistachio, outstanding flavour fresh, fresh pecans and Brazil nuts.
I don't remember the variety, but I would guess it's American Hazelnut.
How are the harvests now?
What varieties should I plant with American Hazelnut trees for good pollination?
thanks
Rabbits don't chew them off at the ground?
Something has nibbled on the branches. I'm not sure there were enough nuts to attract attention. But I'll bet the animals will find them quick enough.
When I first planted my hazels the rabbits did bite a few off. Now they have so many stems, I grow them as a bush not a single stem tree, the rabbits don't touch them.
Don't understand why no nuts?
Not really sure. Maybe as the trees mature and pollinate better, they will produce better.
@@FlannelAcres Perhaps. Plants are mysterious at times.
Watch out for all that poison ivy in the back
First year harvest is usually empty shells.
Hi Mam Hazelnut seeds enakku vendum, My name is Mariyappan
Trees were on steroids?! ;-)
Lol 😏😆
Kusura bakmayın ama Türkiye’de buna fındık bile denmez. Çok verimsiz bir fındık türüne benziyor.
Help! I need translation!
@@FlannelAcres I'm sorry, but in Turkey you can't even call it a hazelnut. Because it looks very, very poor quality.
@@yvzylmz81 Thank you for translating! 🙂 Yes, they are very small. I'm hoping the harvests will get better in years to come. This year was much better than last year.
@@FlannelAcres I understood. I hope It will be better every year.
@@FlannelAcres You can use chicken manure. However, the fertilizer should be kept for a few months before being used. It can be used between November and March by mixing it with the soil 40-50 cm back from the tree trunk. Or you can use artificial azote fertilizer between the same periods.
it is nice to share - but you are all over the place - not having done research - so calling them trees and bushes - then not knowing how they are pollinated .... :( I guess I think if you are going to put something up it should be sharing real knowledge - not just an unfiltered train of thought. I didn't give you a thumb down because you are clear, have good camera work, and I hope you do more ! despite that this may sound harsh - you are good at this .... and I hope you do more :) it is not meant to be harsh - but to help you - I think you could be excellent at this with a little polishing and homework
I always appreciate constructive feedback -- thank you. Being that this was our first harvest, I freely admit I don't know much about it. I posted this out of excitement and wanting to share an experience, not necessarily to educate the masses. As I learn more about things, I hope my audience joins me and learns as well. And I always hope they read the comments because viewers often have great ideas and suggestions. :-) "Doing our best is only as good as the knowledge we have; and both are subject to change." --Flannel Acres
@@FlannelAcres Thanks for taking that they way I meant it ! :) and keep me posted as you post more ... :)
