About Corylus a. Tonda di Griffoni
The “Tonda di Griffoni” hazelnut tree is suitable for both private and professional use and thrives in temperate climates, although it is sensitive to severe frost in early spring due to its early flowering and budding.

The hazelnut tree is self-pollinating, but it is recommended to plant a second variety for good fruit set. The leaves of the tree are green/yellow and can be heart-shaped. The tree grows to a height of approximately 3 metres.
