Take the original nut on their own sect - pride for gardener. And the hazelnut is quite worthy to become the subject of such pride, because it has high taste qualities, and its virtual varieties are successfully used in landscape design.

When choosing seedlings, we pay attention to the root system: it should not be dry or poorly developed. Soothes are also without damage, the kidneys are swollen or sleeping, but not with leaves. We determine the place in the garden is solar and quite humid, optimally - near the reservoir. The soil is suitable neutral or weakly acidic. Mute for the hazelnut will be salty, marshy, sandy ground.

Planting the hazelnuts right in autumn, in September-October. Permissible and in spring, but in this case the bush will take longer. If we lay the garden, place plants with rows: the distance between the holes of 4-5 meters and 5-6 meters between each nearby. If with the help of the hazelnut, you wish to create a living fence, cutting up to 2-3 meters. I dig up the landing hole with dimensions of 30x30x30. We put in it rhizome, fall asleep wet earth, we will be tamped. Each seedling needs abundant irrigation: 20-25 liters of water on the bush, regardless of weather conditions. When water is absorbed, hazelnut mulch sawdows, peat or dry grass. If you need to tie the seedling to the support peg. If the planting is produced in spring, the first days of the hazelnut should be dialed.

In the care of the hazelnut differs little from most plants. Weeding, watering (about 10 liters per plant), mulching. From pests and diseases need preventive treatment, commonly used fungicides. Also, be sure to collect and destroy infected nuts, burn fallen leaves and loosen the ground to a depth of 10-15 cm. To increase yield hazelnuts fertilize organic substances every 2-3 years.

At the age of about 4 years, the hazelnuk begins to be fruitful, and before that time it is necessary to form a bush correctly. Crop the extra shoots in the center, and the extreme branches are slightly rejected and fixed in such a position using wire. This ensures excellent lighting and venting the entire crown, which in the future will allow to grow the maximum amount of fruits. Suitable time for trimming - Late autumn and winter.

Speakers the hazelnut in late August-September. It is possible to determine his "readiness" on the brown or yellow color of the peel. In addition, ripe nuts can be easily cleaned. To assemble the main part of the crop, it is enough to rub the bush. Those fruits that did not immediately fall, you need to collect manually. After that, dry the hazelnut in the sun either in a bright well ventilated place. Re-drying is carried out when nuts are already cleaned. They are kept long enough, up to several years.
For 5-6 years, the plant can give a harvest on an industrial scale - from 10 to 60 centners with hectares. After the rejuvenating trimming is performed, and the shrub is rejoicing with healthy fruits.
