Eta Hazelnut
$25.00 – $30.00
The Eta hazelnut tree was developed by Oregon State University, primarily as a pollinator to cover the late flowering periods of the main producer varieties such as Jefferson. Eta hazelnut trees consistently produce medium sized nuts of good flavor, and are immune to Eastern Filbert Blight.
The 1-year tie-off propagated trees we sell are of good size and caliper, most are 3 to 5 feet long, 3/8″ to 1/2″ caliper and have strong roots. These trees were propagated by tie-off layering of suckers. Due to their length, we will cut them back to about 3 feet when shipped, which will not impact their ability to quickly grow to a healthy nut-bearing tree. If you choose local pickup they will not be trimmed.
