Polly-O, Filbert
Released in 2010, Polly-O is a heavy producer of high quality nuts. They have excellent kernel texture and flavor and are excellent for blanching (in other words, they easily shed the skin or pellicle around the kernel). The trees are vigorous with an up-right growth habit. They grow larger than most other hazelnut varieties (12-15 feet) which makes them an excellent choice for backyard growers looking for exceptional nut production and not concerned about tree size in an orchard. This variety tends to be early flowering with early bud break. This variety is highly resistant to EFB (Eastern Filbert Blight).
