Filbert, European, Gamma

Round, medium-sized nuts have good quality, texture and flavor. Low frequency of moldy kernels. Seedling tree growth is vigorous. Completely resistant to Eastern Filbert Blight. Usually bears two to three years after planting. Zones 5-8. 2 to 3 ft. bare root seedlings.

Small trees are ornamental, as well as productive. Seldom growing over 10 to 12 ft., they tend to grow as a shrub-like tree and feature attractive yellow catkins in late winter. Tasty, nutritious nuts are ready to harvest in early fall. Filberts like one-half day of sun and are bud hardy to -15ºF.

Plant with Yamhill to ensure proper cross-pollination.
