Yamhill, Filbert
Released in 2008 from the Oregon State University with complete immunity to Filbert Blight, Yamhill is a valuable variety with more insect resistance than other common hazelnut varieties. It is an unusually compact variety of Hazelnut which, under ideal conditions, can still produce as much or more nuts than other, less compact varieties. Yamhill produces especially tasty, medium sized, early ripening nuts which have been said to be the best kernel variety of all other hazelnuts. The nuts show very little defects and very low instance of mold.
