Jefferson Hazelnut Tree

The Jefferson Hazelnut Tree is a high-yielding, disease-resistant variety known for its large, flavorful nuts and excellent blight resistance. Developed at Oregon State University, this variety is one of the top choices for both home growers and commercial orchards. As a grafted tree, it produces nuts earlier and more consistently, making it an excellent addition to any landscape.

Key Features:

• Premium Nut Quality: Produces large, round hazelnuts with a high kernel-to-shell ratio, perfect for roasting, baking, and fresh eating.
• Grafted for Faster Nut Production: Ensures earlier fruiting and a more reliable yield compared to seed-grown trees.
• Resistant to Eastern Filbert Blight (EFB): Requires minimal chemical treatments, making it a low-maintenance and eco-friendly choice.
• Cold-Hardy & Adaptable: Thrives in USDA Zones 5-9, tolerating a variety of climates.
• Pollination Requirement: Needs a compatible pollinator, such as Yamhill, Wepster, or Eta Hazelnut Trees, for optimal nut production.
