Thanks so much for the information. It gives me hope. I did find a supplier online for them. It is a Hazelnut research company. I'm going to order more fot this spring. They sell the plants already sprouted. they call them tublings. The ones I planted before were in dormant stage and they never came out of it.
Thanks again!!

Hi!! I live in Arkansas where the weather is pretty hot in the summer.
We also have a high content of clay in our soil and we have a high
water table. From what I have read these conditions are hard on growing
Hazelnut bushes.
Does anyone in here grown Hazelnuts in the south?? I need advice on how
I can grow them here. I have planted them and they just up and died.
This year I planted 5 of them and only 2 sprouted. Any ideas??
Hi Maryc! Yes, hazelnuts will grow great in Arkansas, or at least in
Johnson County, AR.
As a young boy I living in rural AR, I walked to catch the school bus
and there was a fence that ran beside the road. There were dozens of
hazelnut bushes along one stretch, I remember what a treat it was in
the fall, when the shuck of the hazelnut would turn brown and open.
I don't know where they came from, if they were native, or someone
planted them there, I do not recall anyone bringing up the subject.
I don't know about hazelnuts but many seeds require a cold period
before they will sprout. Try putting some in the freezer for about a
month, then try sprouting them
Sorry I could not be of more help- -Rogerx |
