When to plant american hazelnut

NC State Extension describes American hazelnut as a suckering deciduous shrub that is not self-fertile, so plant in multiples for cross-pollination. No planting date is given, so set out dormant plants in early spring; nuts are typically produced on plants 2 to 3 years old and older, ripening in fall.

American Hazelnut is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
