Corylus avellana

When to plant european hazelnut

NC State Extension describes European hazelnut as a large suckering deciduous shrub grown for cobnuts; it produces suckers that may need pruning. It gives no planting date; set out dormant bare-root stock in early spring while the soil is workable.

European 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.
