About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

This robust Alsatian cultivar (also known as ‚Merveille de Bollwiller’) carries very large, roundish oval nuts and is considered little prone to frost damage in bloom. It only ripens from late September to early October, but rewards the wait with excellent yields and good storability. As a wind pollinated hazel it needs a pollen donor beside it, for example ‚Hallesche Riesennuss’. Its vigorous growth gives it an imposing, broad shrub habit over the years.

The large kernel tastes mild and delicately sweet, without any bitterness, and is excellent for snacking and baking.
