Care Requirements
Hazelnuts grow best in a sheltered spot, protected from hot winds and shaded from harsh afternoon sun. They prefer well-drained, low-nutrient soil as too much fertility leads to excess leaf growth and fewer nuts. Prune in winter to maintain an open shape by removing around a third of the oldest branches.
