Pests
Pests and diseases of the hazelnut: One of the biggest threats to hazelnuts in North America is the eastern filbert blight. It will kill off your trees unless you spray regularly. Although there are several varieties of tree that have been bred with resistance. Slide6
Seeds
A nut
houses one or two seeds, wrapped in a hard outer layer that doesn't open on its own. The seed is not attached to the shell wall.
The weight of a nut makes it very uncommon for
wind to play any part in seed dispersal. The wind does help ripened nuts to fall to the ground
.
To a lesser extent, water disperses nuts away from
the plant.
This occurs during flooding. Fast moving flood waters carry nuts to a new a
rea.Slide7
Reproduction
The Hazelnut requires
a second planting of a different variety for cross pollination in order to produce a nut crop. You will need to plant two shrubs, preferably from different sources, in order to produce hazelnuts.Slide8
