Tonda Gentile Romana
Italy
Wild hazel (grafted), shoot (bushy)
end of August, beginning of September
A highly productive variety, very well adapted to our climate, easy to cultivate, and in high demand. Tonda Romana Hazelnut is suitable for industrial processing due to its compatibility with mechanized harvesting.
The kernel is high-quality and flavorful.
The nuts are medium to large (2.5–3 grams), round in shape. Clusters usually contain 2–4 nuts. The shell is thin, light brown with darker streaks. The kernel is medium-sized, high-quality, weighing approximately 1.2 grams. Mature nuts fall out of the shell easily. High kernel fill rate (around 45%) makes it one of the more common hazelnut varieties in our region. The skin separates slightly harder from the kernel during roasting.

You can purchase seedlings of Hazelnut Tonda Gentille Romana 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.
