The kernel to shell ratio is a respectable 44%.  It is 75% European and 25% American hazel.  Its growth habit is vigorous and upright with a slightly spreading crown. It will grow up to 20' x 15' wide so plan accordingly.  The tree is a prodigious producer with 17 lbs of nuts at year six in trials.  Grows well in USDA zone 5 and is being tested for zone 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has S-alleles 8 and 23 with S8 expressed in the pollen.  Which makes it pollen compatible with Grand Traverse, Geneva and NITKA. We do not yet know compatibility for Truxton. In orchards please also grow seedlings every fifth row for pollination insurance. The Beast blooms in the early to mid-season in New Jersey.  The nuts drop mid to late September.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs Raritan and The Beast are larger European genetics you will want them on a final spacing of 16ft. in row and 18 to 20ft between rows.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  For orchard design please see the latest version of the \"\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/znutty.com\/pages\/the-hazelnut-and-chestnut-handbook\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThe Hazelnut and Chestnut Handbook\u003c\/a\u003e\" by Jeff and Dawn Zarnowski. \u003cspan\u003ePlease read our \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Hazelnut seedling and cultivar information\" href=\"https:\/\/znutty.com\/blogs\/news\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eblog page\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to learn more about seedlings and our cultivars that we sell.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor tax exempt orders please email info@znutty.com with the desired quantity and your ship too address.  We give quantity discounts on larger orders.  Pricing already includes Royalty cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 170, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrees are typically 6' to 8' tall.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e  Please follow \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/znutty.com\/pages\/how-to-plant-and-care-for-your-hazelnut-trees\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eplanting instructions\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSpring we\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu\u003e typically ship late-April to late-May weather dependent, dormant and bare root.\u003c\/u\u003e  In the fall w\u003c\/span\u003ee ship mid-October to early November, dormant and bare root.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe cannot ship the Westcoast states.  We will ship to Canada for large orders only!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReminder a \"cultivar\" is a clone of the parent tree and performs just like the parent as it is the one and same genetics.  Whereas, \"seedlings\" are just like children, it inherits traits from both parents and what traits are expressed we learn as it matures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlants with a patent or a PPAF (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elant\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eatent\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epplied\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eor) asexual reproduction is prohibited.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Z's Nutty Ridge LLC","offers":[{"title":"1 pack (1 tree)      $65 ea.","offer_id":42344772534370,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 pack          $58 ea.","offer_id":42344772567138,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1857\/2633\/files\/Rutgers4468BeastHuskNut_fba7e24e-3e64-47b0-8fb0-19cfcc3a6547.jpg?v=1691263916","url":"https:\/\/znutty.com\/products\/the-beast-hazelnut-cultivar-4-yr-old-bare-root-pick-up-only","provider":"Z's Nutty Ridge LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
