Re: Hazelnuts
Are these special hazelnuts? Most people I know want to get rid of hazel brush, not plant more.

Re: Hazelnuts
I tried growing these....they never took.
Our soil is mostly sand and I don't think they like it.
I bought ours from the county 🌲 program.

Very nice pictorial J3!  So those look just like the ones we buy to eat.  I didn't realize the wild ones would look so nice.  Have you ever tried to eat them?

Re: Hazelnuts
I planted a part of a SWCD bundle someone had left over a few years ago so I have 14 of them. Bunny and deer candy. Just curious what kind of insects you mentioned jlynch? The hazelnut bushes grew wild in the fencelines at home and occasionally we'd get to sample them before the critters ate all the nuts. Smaller than the ones we'd eat at Christmas time but tasted the same.

I have eaten them.  Taste the same as bought ones.  Was a guy down around lanesboro that was breeding them to make a commercially viable crop hardy in mn.

Re: Hazelnuts
Years ago we picked sacks full every fall.  We ate them all year.  Cracked them open on the sidewalk or steps with a hammer.  I have quite a few patches on my land.  The bears love them.

I like hazelnuts too. Used to eat a lot of them. Broken into pieces, good mixed in cookies and as a topping for cakes.

Re: Hazelnuts
Ok, I've been interested in wild hazelnuts.  Didn't see the pics of course and that would have been nice.  Wanted to see the size of them if they were the same size as the one's you buy in the store.  The one's I've seen up north while hunting were still green on the outside.  I opened some up once and it was obvious that they were not ripe yet and they were small.  So maybe it was early but it was late fall.  Maybe they don't get ripe up there?  So the wild one's you guys see down more south are the same size as store bought?  good luck.

Re: Hazelnuts
Thanks Reb!!  That was awesome.  So they are smaller than store bought.  That's ok though.  I'll just leave them alone so the animals up there can enjoy them and I'll buy the store bought.  good luck.

Re: Hazelnuts
I have an abundant supply of hazelnuts on my land.  Wildlife love them.  Bear, grouse, deer, turkey all eat the nuts.  It's a lot easier to buy the filberts in the store than harvest the hazelnuts from the bushes in Minnesota.  We did when I was young.  Fight the bugs and pick sacks full.  Spread them out in the corncrib until dry.  Walk on them shuffling feet until all husks are off.  Separate nuts from chaff.  Store in glass jars in the attic.  Crack them with hammer on sidewalk.
