cr-artic gem, car17
Listed below is a brief history on hazelnut introduction into Canada as a commercial crop.
Starting with British Columbia as it is the only commericial enterprize that has endured any significant impact to date. Planting of orchards relied on selections of Corylus Avellanda (european strain) nursery stock. It is a well known fact that this strain is highly succeptable to the eastern blight which will eventually kill the trees. The blight did infest the orchards and many plantings were completely lost.
Ontario growers have attempted twice to esablish these as a commercail crop.
Quebec, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia have developed several commercail orchards as well.
My study and experience in plant breeding which covers several decades is listed in condenced form summary here. My original work did consist of continuing the use of those nursery stock which contained the european and asian gene(highly succeptable to eastern blight) in thier makeup. After many failures. The conclusion to completely remove any of the unwanted genes was a necessity. To accomplish this I carried out many open and closed pollination using the several clones of hazelnut varieties. Beaked hazel is well- known fact that these are immune to the blight. Through many different climatic zones testing. I now introduce the following:

All of the above varieties are suitable for planting, as they are completely blight resistance. No need for chemical control!

The tree is noted for its timber value, but is a good producer of fine edible nuts. The selections we have made were based on the timber type of growth, as well as size, thickness of shell and taste. We also one selection of a hybrid which produces a good timber like growth as well as producing a thin shelled nut, with the kernel having a mild like flavour. We have grown these in a test orchard now for over 25 years, and they have outperformed any of the named cultivars that we had tried. They produce a regular crop each year. car6,car9,car24,car78,car92

Small Chinese native tree having leaves recalling sorbus, and striking one-inch flowers borne in erect clusters. Blooms are cream and yellow and develop a bright red centre as they age. The tree is noted for its landscape capacity. It produces edible nuts which can be eaten raw or roasted. Not only are the nuts beneficial, but the leaves and other parts of trees are used for medicinal purposes. They are being cultivated extensively as an oilseed tree to make biofuel. The tree tolerates alkaline soil and is hardy to -35 degrees F. Prefers full sun and dry soil.

A cross between the sweet chinquapin x sweet burr oak x -- . Prolific producer of very thin shelled nuts. Medium size nuts. If your’re looking for a real timber type tree to supply acorns. LOW IN TANNON, I have eaten right from the tree while harvesting! No problem. In fact, a sustitute for the Corylus, ( Hazelnut or filbert) in taste. No leaching required! Needs little maintenance, once established. Ripens later than hazelnuts. A good substitute where the european blight (EBF) is prevelant. No need to apply harmful chemicals, such as copper sup. etc , to control disease. Al As its a hybrid it’s a terrific grower. (see hazelnut or filbert for other crops above)
