Another fine hazelnut from Oregon State University, developed for it strong resistance to eastern filbert blight, this cultivar also boasts large nut size, good quality kernels and high-yields, this is a winner all around; this small 10-15' tree with its fuzzy green leaves makes a nice somewhat vase-shaped specimen and is perfect for all filbert connoisseurs either planting at home or commercially; Hall's Giant, Yamhill and Theta are good pollinizers.
