Hello,

Just to address the hazelnut question of Nafex you had requested.
I live in Ontario, Canada, climatic zone 4, and have well over 3,000
hazelnut bushes, as well as  hazel nut trees growing.
They produce large size nuts, very sweet tasting, and have had some produce
at the age of 3 from seed, this is unusual, because 
It normally takes 5 years for production.

They are of Chinese origin, as the native hazelnuts do well and are very
hardy, and grow in poorer soils, but the nuts are very small.

If interested, I have a website @ www.nuttrees.com  for further information.

Charles Rhora,
Rhora's Nut Farm & Nursery.

I have 30 or 40 of them going. They have a lot of wild genetics so the nuts
are fairly small and mine too 7 years even to begin bearing any nuts....  He
has an amazing research field planting greenhouse set up that is well worth
visiting.

fruits, so it might be best to answer off-list. I am in eastern MA, zone 6,
and have a lot of granite ledge. I am wondering if they might be nice for
the shrubby border between my property and the next one over. I doubt they'd
get enough light to put out much of a crop, but I have an abundance of
squirrels, so even if they did, I wouldn't harvest many. If I got a nut from
time to time, it would be fun. I was thrilled with my harvest of 3 dozen
apples this year, from a mature tree that is usually stripped by squirrels
before the fruits ripen.
