Sigo con interes el grave problema desde que me enteré de su existencia (escribo desde Europa). Creo que es el momento de soluciones valientes como el estudiar modificaciones genomicas que permitan una mayor resistencia de Fagus al nematodo. Tenemos tecnologia Crispr por ejemplo para su aplicación "in vivo" y asi salvar los árboles adultos y no perder mas de 50 años p ej buscando ejemplares resistentes. Tenemos un serio problema pero tenemos posibilidad de solucionarlo, no es fácil y sería costoso pero siempre será mejor que quedarnos sin los grandiosos hayedos.

Thanks for posting these!

Missouri Department of Foresty sales Hazelnut bushes

I have a buyer that gave me 7.00 a pound in 2023 out of husk

He had me complete captivated, inspired and completely motivated to jump into my next project especially considering my age.... until... that word.... "round up". 😪😪

Thanks for the video!

Roundup is dangerous

Where can one pick up an Iowa Pecan tree?

Could you share the variety names of the Hazlenuts that survived the -30 degree winter? Also, could you tell us what variety of cherry tree produced after a -30 degree winter? Thank you!!

Add bird netting?

This was an outstanding learning opportunity for anyone wanting to learn how to grow hazelnuts. John is one of a kind and provided a wealth of information. I appreciate the tip on Foggy Bottom as well. Thanks to this podcast I found out about them and was able to place my first hazelnut tree order. Thank you for sharing such great information.

What are the chill requirements to produce nuts?

Very interesting! I hope to purchase some Hazelnut trees this year.

Thank you for this recap, I would've liked to have attended but couldn't make it work this year, hopefully some year soon. Always enjoy your videos and Northfield looks like a very charming little city.

Really like your treadmill nut cleaner. I’m currently building a processor and I’m thinking about adding this into my machine. How well is this working for you? What angle are you at and what speed do you run the belt at?

Great Video.

Great video.

Great Video. What varieties do you recommend for central South Dakota?

You guys are nuts! 😂

"How many trees do you have?" "Five acres"

I did this and held them down with T posts. Baby Cottontails will get through. Use 2' chicken wire on the bottom of the fencing if you want protection from them.

question for you sir. im going to be moving from Washington state to Missouri in 2 years and want nut trees. So should I start my trees in buckets and transplant them, when I move to get 2 years of growth, or just wait till I move? I want to grow acorns, walnuts, chestnuts, and paw paws. thank you

We keep all our fruit and nut trees fenched just like you do until they are big enough to 'defend themselves'. At that point we corral groups of hazels with soft heavy deer fence. The wire cages are reusable of course. Cheers!

I'm still picking it's a job picking by myself so far have 2 minral tubs full of wild hazelnuts

Look at that rich prairie soil, some of the best in the world. Hazels are looking great.

Lookin good Double J, love the tunes with the video, bumper crops for sure!

my hazelnuts are really close to being ready to pick will be looking for your updates talk to you later

yes the hazelnuts here in Purman county Missouri are really close to harvest I need to find a buyer

Wt is the max temperature in ur place

good stuff! beautiful trees you've seen. Maybe you've read "the overstory" by Richard Powers. trees are amazing.

No tubes, no fencing? Do you use deer odor spray? Ah there's the tubes! What kind of tubes? What brand, what type? thanks. three foot tall? Vented?

that looks like 5 foot spacing in the row?

Rabbit damage! wow - I'm gonna put up fencing.

what was your row spacing for Hazelnut seedling planting? 5 feet or 8 feet? etc. thanks. I'm planting Northern MN so sounds like tree tubes should be require to survive the cold winter for the first few years at least - I wonder if the 5 foot tree tubes would work for these bushes?!

Wow I'm glad I'm planting North to South rows! northern Minnesota

nice work Double J, getting the next gen of H seedlings going. We did out grand traverse and the beast 2 years ago, and they are moving along.

well done Jeff, beautiful and bountiful place!

Good to see! It's looking like it'll be a good harvest in Ontario, Canada as well this year.

Jeff you rock dude- thanks for the recap, I didn't make it this year to the conference, but am gonna try my darndest to get there next yr.

great variety! awesome place. Camera man is a wild man very fun

I bought some trees from Tom in 2005! They are doing wonderful in Vermont!

A really beautiful planting! Bummer about the rain, hopefully it passed over and you were able to go back out...if not, good thing you got there early! Impressive growth on the plants, wish I had some of those Iowa soils...things don't grow very fast or very well on my glacial outwash sand dune.

Maybe unroll with curve down instead of up? The grass would hold it. That's how I did it.

How do you roast them with shells on please

it´s very interesting the process, if you asking me, i didn't know how they could harvest the nuts

​Do you have any of the Dee type?

Very informative, thank you for posting these videos!

I need to find a buyer to buy my husked nuts

it takes me about a week to harvest my bushes I have around 250 bushes here in Unionville Missouri

Hi, there. Very interesting video, even more interesting presentation and subject matter. To me, at least it is very interesting. I'll explain: I live in a mountainous area and in my spare time devote that time to the recovery of an isolated valley. It is presently completely overgrown with heather, broom and other hard (and dry) shrubs, traversed by an almost rectilinear but only mildly incised stream. It is my intent to install some Beaver Dam Analogues (a.k.a. BDA's) to raise the phreatic water table and plant ripariam trees such as willows and alders. In the surrounding 'upland' I have oak trees to be planted after clearing the shrubs. As I want to mix understorey plants with the oaks, alder buckthorn and hazel are the main options, here. My searching though the internet and youtube lead me to this video... Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences with others!
