Wepster, Filbert
Recently released by OSU, Wepster was selected especially for the chocolate and nut industry. This variety is a reliable and heavy producer of delicious high quality nuts. The trees are vigorous growers, yet easy to train and maintain at a 10' height with their naturally open growth habits. Wepster blooms early-midseason and the nuts ripen early. This variety is highly resistant, if not immune to EFB (Eastern Filbert Blight).
