Halls Hardy Almond - Prunus amygdalus Communis x a persia |
---|
A fine ornamental with large showy pink blossoms. Hall's is a cross of almond and peach. The nuts are not paper shell and are similar to a peach seed.The hard green flesh around the nut splits and the seed drops like almonds do. Hall's is very adaptable especially to East coast conditions. Generally almonds grow well in California and some parts of Texas, but are not usually adapted to the eastern states. The nuts are very tasty with a hint of bitter almond flavor. The trees look like a peach tree and can be pruned to an open vase pruning to keep the tree easy to pick. Space 12' circle; height 8' with annual pruning. Zone 5-8

Dorris Filbert - Corylus avellana |
Dorris is a new hazelnut cultivar for the blanched kernel and in-shell markets. It was released by the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station in Feb. 2011. It combines high resistance to eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala and bud mites (primarily Phytoptus avellanae Nal.) with high nut yield, medium nut size, attractive nuts and kernels, and excellent kernel flavor. Compared with the standard Barcelona, Dorris has smaller trees, similar yields per tree, higher nut yield efficiency, and similar nut maturity. Most of the pellicle is removed from Dorris kernels by dry heat, giving an attractive white kernel. Also, kernel texture and flavor are excellent, making them suitable for many end uses, although they are larger than ideal for the kernel market. Large nuts of Dorris are also suited to the in-shell market. York and Felix are suggested pollinators. Also compatible with Yamhill and McDonald. Zones 4-8 Space 12'circles.

Felix Filbert - Corylus avellana |
Felix Filbert named after a French tree importer who introduced popular hazelnut varieties in the 1800s to Oregon, can serve as a pollenizer for Jefferson, a recently introduced EFB-resistant standard variety. York's earlier pollenshed leaves off where Theta takes over to give total pollenation to Jefferson for the second-half of the winter pollination season. Felix can be used during the first half. With that combination you get good coverage throughout the bloom. York is also Filbert Blight resistant. Zones 4-8 Space 10-12'circle
