About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The red-leaved filbert is both an ornamental and a productive shrub: its foliage comes out deep wine red, and the husk of the nut is washed with red as well. It gives you medium-sized, elongated nuts with a strong flavour and ripens in September. As a wind-pollinated hazel it requires a second variety as a pollen donor, for example ‚Hallesche Riesennuss’. In the garden it is a real eye-catcher that carries a good harvest on the side.
The kernel tastes full and strongly nutty and does well both fresh and roasted.
