American Hazelnut

American Hazelnut

American hazelnut is native to eastern Nebraska. Best growth is obtained on moist, fertile loam soils and can grow to 15 feet, but 8 to 10 feet is more common. It is medium to fast growing, and starts producing nuts within 3 to 5 years. The nuts mature in late summer to early fall and are very tasty if you can collect them before the birds and animals.
