This publication gives a brief introduction to hazelnuts, which are sometimes called filberts. It provides an overview of hazelnut history, growth and production, geographic distribution, and hazelnut industry organizations.
Called a soft catch system, the mechanism boasts a soft surface for catching the delicate berries in contrast to the hard polycarbonate surface of traditional over-the-row machines.
This publication includes tables that summarize characteristics of the main hazelnut varieties produced in the United States, lists varieties' susceptibility to eastern filbert blight, and shows varieties' compatibility with each other for pollination.
