How to Forage American and Beaked #Hazelnuts – Nut Geeks
"Woods and forests are a shared treasure, home to countless creatures and plants. When foraging, always leave enough hazelnuts behind for wildlife and future growth. Think of it as your contribution to the circle of life. Plus, it’s a nod to foraging traditions, where respect for nature was paramount."
by Sam Arden, February 2025
Excerpt: "Foraging hazelnuts is a hands-on way to connect with nature and enjoy one of its most delightful offerings. Before modern machinery took over, this was the primary method of gathering these nuts. Communities often gathered during harvest, sharing techniques and enjoying the collective effort.
Venturing into hazelnut groves requires a keen eye for spotting ripe nuts and a gentle hand to harvest them without causing damage. For those who’ve tried it, the experience is not just about collecting nuts. It’s an opportunity to immerse oneself in nature, appreciate the sounds of the outdoors, and continue a tradition that has been passed down through generations.
Curious about embarking on this journey yourself? Join us as we explore the process of handpicking hazelnuts in the wild."

#Wikipedia - #HazelTrees! Another tree that is found in many locations in the Northern Hemisphere!
Excerpt: "Corylus has around 14–18 species. The circumscription of species in eastern Asia is disputed, with World Flora Online and the Flora of China differing in which taxa are accepted, within this region. WFO accepts 17 species while Flora of China accepts 20 species (including Corylus mandshurica).
Only those taxa accepted by both sources are listed below.
The species are grouped as follows:
Nut surrounded by a soft, leafy involucre, multiple-stemmed, suckering shrubs to 12 m tall
Involucre short, about the same length as the nut
- Corylus americana – American hazel, eastern North America
- Corylus avellana – Common hazel, Europe and western Asia
- Corylus heterophylla – Asian hazel, Asia
- Corylus yunnanensis – Yunnan hazel, central and southern China
Involucre long, twice the length of the nut or more, forming a 'beak'
- Corylus colchica – Colchican filbert, Caucasus
- Corylus cornuta – Beaked hazel, North America
- Corylus maxima – Filbert, southeastern Europe and southwest Asia
- Corylus sieboldiana – Asian beaked hazel, northeastern Asia and Japan (syn. C. mandshurica)
Nut surrounded by a stiff, spiny involucre, single-stemmed trees to 20–35 m tall
Involucre moderately spiny and also with glandular hairs
- Corylus chinensis – Chinese hazel, western China
- Corylus colurna – Turkish hazel, southeastern Europe and Asia Minor
- Corylus fargesii – Farges' hazel, western China
- Corylus jacquemontii – Jacquemont's hazel, Himalaya
- Corylus wangii – Wang's hazel, southwest China
Involucre densely spiny, resembling a chestnut burr
- Corylus ferox – Himalayan hazel, Himalaya, Tibet and southwest China (syn. C. tibetica)."Several hybrids exist, and they can occur between species in different sections of the genus, e.g. Corylus × colurnoides (C. avellana × C. colurna). The oldest confirmed hazel species is Corylus johnsonii found as fossils in the Ypresian-age rocks of Ferry County, Washington.
"Chilean hazel (Gevuina avellana), despite its name, is not related to this genus.
Ecology
"At least 21 species of #fungus have a #mutualistic relationship with hazel. Lactarius pyrogalus grows almost exclusively on hazel, and hazel is one of two kinds of host for the rare Hypocreopsis rhododendri. Several rare species of Graphidion lichen depend on hazel trees. In the UK, five species of moth are specialised to feed on hazel including Parornix devoniella. Animals which eat hazelnuts include #RedDeer, #dormouse and #RedSquirrel.
Uses
"The nuts of all hazels are edible. The common hazel is the species most extensively grown for its nuts, followed in importance by the #filbert. Nuts are also harvested from the other species, but apart from the filbert, none is of significant commercial importance.
"A number of cultivars of the common hazel and filbert are grown as ornamental plants in gardens, including forms with contorted stems (C. avellana 'Contorta', popularly known as "Corkscrew hazel" or "Harry Lauder's walking stick" from its gnarled appearance); with weeping branches (C. avellana 'Pendula'); and with purple leaves (C. maxima 'Purpurea').
"Hazel is a traditional material used for making #wattle, withy #fencing, #baskets, and the frames of #Coracleboats. The tree can be coppiced, and regenerating shoots allow for harvests every few years. There is a seven-year cycle (cut and grow) for hurdle (fence) making.
"Hazels are used as food plants by the larvae of various species of #Lepidoptera including Eriocrania chrysolepidella.
Culture
"The #Celts believed hazelnuts gave one wisdom and inspiration. There are numerous variations on an ancient tale that nine hazel trees grew around a sacred pool, dropping into the water nuts that were eaten by salmon (a fish sacred to #Druids), which absorbed the wisdom. A Druid teacher, in his bid to become omniscient, caught one of these special salmon and asked a student to cook the fish, but not to eat it. While he was cooking it, a blister formed and the pupil used his thumb to burst it, which he naturally sucked to cool, thereby absorbing the fish's wisdom. This boy was called #FionnMacCumhail (Fin McCool) and went on to become one of the most heroic leaders in Gaelic mythology.
" 'The #HazelBranch' from #Grimms' Fairy Tales claims that hazel branches offer the greatest protection from snakes and other things that creep on the earth. In the Grimm tale '#Cinderella', a hazel branch is planted by the protagonist at her mother's grave and grows into a tree that is the site where the girl's wishes are granted by birds."

Spending the weekend in the Alps south of Geneva and seeing lots of hazelnut bushes everywhere! Also persimmon trees, ornamental pomegranates, wild strawberries (of course! :-), plums and apples.
A veritable fruit bowl here at 1000 metres in the mountains!

This past season foraged about 2 kg of #hazelnuts. Today did the float test to weed out the empty shells and the yield dropped down to a total of 20 nuts, which equates to about 3% success rate assuming they aren't empty.
-
Hazel blossoms and catkins. This is one that is the farthest behind. The other trees/bushes catkins are elongated and yellow now but not dropping any pollen.

Should see some pollen from the hazel trees in a week or so if it stays warm. The catkins are expanding fast. Last year there was pollen and bees gathering it for one day and then the wind blew about 50mph and no more pollen.

Today's yield adds quite nicely to this year's total.
They are currently being dried on a metal tray.

Another fruitful yield from #foraging #hazelnuts.
Amazed that after sharing this image with friends who claimed that they are into foraging, that none of them knew what it is.

New blog post introducing the New York Tree Crops Alliance (NYTCA), a nut growers #cooperative I work for and with: https://www.nytca.org/s/stories/introducing-the-new-york-tree-crops-alliance-2
I share some details about who our farmers are, what we are doing, and why.
TLDR version: #NYTCAisNuts about #TreeCrops like #Chestnuts and #Hazelnuts, and a whole lot more!

Seeing the wood for the trees: how archaeologists use hazelnuts to reconstruct ancient woodlands
Archaeologists analyze the carbon isotope values of #hazelnuts from ancient sites to see what the local woods were like -
Last one for now.
-
A good photo of the long tongue.
-
I saw lots of this pollen going into the hive.
-
The previous bees I had, caught from a huge swarm, that were in my top bar hive never stayed on the property when they were foraging. I literally would only see them coming and going from the hive.
-
I've never seen bees in these hazelnuts like this. You can hear the buzzing without even getting that close.
-
The Burr White Oak is still looking very similar to the Chestnut at this early phase of growth. You can see the Red Oak has red in its leaves which distinguishes it.
The Hazelnuts are really taking off. On Monday it will be time to fertilize the hazelnuts and the Burr Oak tray as they are getting mature enough. I'll be posting about what and how much when I do.

New project! I’ve been hired by the New York Tree Crops Alliance (NYTCA) to help their cooperative grow, process, and market hazelnuts and chestnuts.
This article describes several of the goals and aspirations of NYTCA and our partners:
https://www.morningagclips.com/new-project-promotes-nut-growing-and-processing/I’ll also be providing products and services complementary to the needs and goals of NYTCA through my business (and NYS certified nursery), #FLXagroforestrysolutions

#RateTheNuts
#Hazelnuts (#Filberts)Texture [5/5]: A hard and satisfying crunch.
Flavor [4/5]: Good as a companion to coffee or chocolate (#nutella!), but nothing special on its own.
Appearance (shell on) [5/5]: A classic and pleasing acorn look.
Appearance (shell off) [3/5]: OK but boring.Overall [4.2/5]: A good, quintessential nut.

This pastry was inspired by the bicycle race between Paris and Brest, specifically the bicycle wheels. Here's my version, based on the recipe by Claire Saffitz. Pate choux filled with hazelnut praline mousse, and I added a layer of chocolate ganache, because of course I did.
