Hazlenut

Project Information Profile @ a glance

In its natural form the hazelnut is a deciduous, monoecious, multi-stemmed bush, but commercially should be grown as a single trunk tree.
Hazelnuts have a number of unique characteristics which include flowering periods of weeks or even months between pollination and fertilization. They can also tolerate temperatures down to–10°C during the period of pollination and are usually unaffected by late spring frosts.
Hazelnuts are high in energy and kilojoules, are sealed by nature and contain no additives.
Hazelnuts require a well-drained soil approximately 1.8 m deep. The tree has a mainly fibrous root system, but deeper soils allow for greater exploitation of soil resources and heavier production in the mature orchard.
Hazelnuts benefit from a balanced nutritional program such as annual applications of a complete NPK fertiliser. Nitrogen, potassium and boron are the elements most commonly found deficient in hazelnuts.
The major markets for hazelnuts will be for round kernels of 11–13 mm with the range for confectionery kernels being 9–15 mm. The in-shell trade is developing as newer plantings of varieties like Ennis commence bearing.
Hazelnuts nutrition properties make them a natural fit for any healthy snack as millions will continue to diet and /or expect healthier food options.
