Corylus avellana
Croatia
Wild hazel (grafted), shoot (bushy)
late August, early September
This hazelnut variety originates from Istria, developed by selecting from the natural population of Lambert hazel (Corylus maxima). It is widely cultivated in our region. The Istrian Long Hazelnut is renowned worldwide as an exceptionally high-yielding variety. It is suitable for fresh consumption as well as for processing.
The kernel is very flavorful and aromatic.
The fruit is oval-elongated, large, and slightly flattened at the top, with an average weight of 3 to 3.5 grams. It grows in clusters of about 5 nuts per cluster. Kernel yield is approximately 46%. The husk is significantly longer than the nut and tightly encloses it. The shell is medium-thick, brown, with grayish hairs near the top, and the nuts are not easily dislodged. The kernel is medium-sized, very tasty, and aromatic. The skin separates easily from the kernel upon roasting.

You can purchase seedlings of Hazelnut Istrian Long at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
