A
& B Hazelnut Trees has set out to produce
hazelnut tree whips of the varieties that are standing
out in the research. Our hazelnut tree nursery has
been established to provide the much needed planting
material for both the large commercial hazelnut grove
and the small hobby farmer.
Australia imports over 2000 tonnes per annum of shelled
hazelnuts.The market is obvious but the advantage
for Australian growers is the marketing of fresh hazelnuts.
The
hazelnut tree varieties that produce the most nuts will
obviously interest the grower the most, however some may
require hazelnuts within a particular size range. This
decision will, in turn, dictate the appropriate polliniser
varieties. Hazelnut tree polliniser varieties is again
a complex issue where you are looking for total compatability.
Pollen would need to be released at the right time and
preferably in large amounts. More importantly, it would
need to have genetic compatability.
As hazelnut nursery propagators, A & B Hazelnut
Trees strongly believe in the importance of the
hazelnut tree whips being true to type, for example any
seed-grown hazelnut trees will have variable performance
and genetics. The varieties must be true to type for a
successful hazelnut tree combination.
A
& B Hazelnut Trees specialise in leading
true-to-type Hazelnut varieties and pollinisers. Hazelnut
trees are supplied as bare root whips and are available
for planting mid-Winter.
