About Badgersett seedlings
Young plants grown from Badgersett's hazelnut hybrid swarm in southern Minnesota, bred since 1978 for good nut production. The swarm is a mix of wild American hazelnuts (C. americana) from Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Wisconsin; heritage European hazelnut (C. avellana) cultivars from the Mediterranean and Central Europe; and a wild beaked hazelnut (C. cornuta) from Peace River, Alberta; plus any wild pollen that managed to float into the various breeding plots in the last century.
About Hazelnut, Hybrid
Large shrub producing clusters of husked nuts. Hybrids combine the large nuts of the European filbert with the hardiness and blight-resistance of native American and beaked hazelnuts. Not self-fruitful, so plant at least two different varieties.
