About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
An old, robust-growing hazelnut tree with large, elongated nuts that was already valued for its yield in the 19th century. It ripens from mid-September and gives you well-filled, easily separable kernels. Like all hazelnuts, it blooms wind-pollinated and needs a second variety nearby so the nuts fully develop. Plant, for example, ‚Wunder aus Bollwiller’ or ‚Webbs Preisnuss’ within reach.
You will find the kernel tastes full and classic nutty, with pleasant sweetness and a fine aroma fresh like roasted.
