Bears large, easy-to-crack nuts. Spreading growth habit of canopy creates landscape appeal, especially in fall where dark green foliage takes on golden tones. Remove sucker growth to maintain single-trunked tree form. Easy to grow, ideal for the spray-free gardener. Disease-resistant to common fungal issues. Matures to be 15–18’ tall and wide. Ripens in late August or early September. Best pollinator: another variety of Filbert Hazelnut.
