Suitable for growing in hedgerows, as specimen trees or in garden beds where space allows, these large shrubs are highly productive once established. Plant in a free-draining, enriched soil. Plant in raised beds if soil is wet as hazelnuts dislike waterlogging. Improve pH to 6. Hazelnuts prefer an area with long, cool winters as the need around 1000-1200 hours of chilling to set nuts, however they make a lovely tree regardless. Prune to control growth. Frost tolerant.
