I know nothing about gardening but I would like to grow some hazelnuts in my garden. Where can I buy one on the internet and what type should I be looking for ?
i have got a hazelnut tree just one..i dont know about it being male or female its just a hazelnut tree..and i get loads of hazlenuts from it..now for the problem late summer as the nuts are looking good along come the squirrells and steal the lot..they leave behind all the shell peelings and thats it..monty don the gardener has the same problem so he has about 20 trees so he manages to get some..i only have room for the one tree and it certainly crops heavy...
There must be male trees somewhere within a couple of miles then. The pollen is windborne and can travel quite long distances. The male trees have different flowers than the female ones.
Some garden centres sell stock with male and female branches grafted onto the same tree these days.
