Tonda Di Giffoni
Italy
Wild hazel (grafted), shoot (bushy)
August
Tonda di Giffoni is an ancient Italian variety cultivated in the Salerno province (Naples region). It is one of the most valued Italian hazelnut varieties in the food industry. Due to its round nuts and excellent processing quality, it has been awarded the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) by the European Union. The variety is highly productive and produces nuts of excellent quality, making it particularly suitable for further processing. Gifoni round hazelnuts are rich in vitamins E, B, C, and minerals such as iron, copper, zinc, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, and selenium, essential for proper cellular function. Additionally, they help reduce bad cholesterol and protect against arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.
The kernel is aromatic, of exceptional taste and quality.
The nuts are medium-sized, round-oval, weighing about 2.5 grams, with clusters typically containing 2–3 nuts. The round husk is longer than the nut, but the nut falls out easily when ripe. The shell is medium-thin with chestnut-colored stripes. The kernel is small, of excellent quality, and easily separates from the shell. Shell removal rate is 60–90%, and kernel fill (kernel yield) is 46–48%.

You can purchase seedlings of Hazelnut Tonda Di Giffoni 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.
