When to plant Hazelbert

Utah State Extension says hazelnuts are sold bare-root or containerized and should be installed as quickly as possible after purchase, with bare-root plants kept moist and cool until planting. Set out dormant stock in early spring while the soil is workable.

The calendar shows this cited seasonal window as an approximate band. It does not convert the season into frost-adjusted dates.
