About the Corylus Halle'sche Riesen hazelnut tree
The Halle'sche Riesen is a classic and highly prized hazelnut tree that originates from Germany and has been cultivated in gardens and orchards since the 19th century. The tree is not self-pollinating, so it is recommended to plant another hazelnut tree nearby to ensure good fruit production. The Halle'sche Riesen grows to a height of approx. 3-5 metres. The tree is hardy to (approx. -25°C).
About the nut
The Halle'sche Riesen is known for its large, tasty hazelnuts. The nuts ripen from mid-September to early October, after which they fall out of their husks and are ready to be harvested. The nuts are generally larger than many other varieties, with a broad or slightly elongated shape. The nuts are firm and have a medium-sized shell that protects them well. The hazelnuts have a long shelf life and an aromatic nutty flavour, which can be eaten fresh or used in cooking.
