Thanks, Joe.

80 degrees for about six weeks means a big effort and cost.    I don't think 
it's
worth it for a few corkscrew hazelnuts.  But I'll get the MSU booklet anyway.

: -Filberts are very fussy about callousing temperature.  He built a building 
to

places the

building.
: He does not worry if it pushes leaves because he has little shock since he
leaves
: it in the pot.
: -He often  use a simple splice graft.  That may be due to the large 
diameters he
: sometimes works with.....it might be due to the tendency for the top part 
of the
: rootstock to slough-off....as noted by Gordon
: -He leaves a "nurse bud" at the top of the rootstock, also pointed out by
Gordon.
