The Jefferson Hazelnut Tree is thought to be the best all-around hazelnut variety for commercial or home growers in the United States. This new hazelnut variety from Oregon State University is extremely insect resistant and is completely immune to Filbert Blight disease. The Jefferson Hazelnut Tree produces heavy yields of large tasty hazelnuts that consistently fill out their shells. It is considered an improvement over the Barcelona Hazelnut variety because it has much fewer blank shells, fewer shriveled kernels and fewer moldy nuts. The Jefferson Hazelnut Tree produces commercial quality and sized nuts while offering home growers who buy hazelnut trees a low-maintenance tree. The Jefferson Hazelnut Tree must be cross-pollinated with Yamhill Hazelnut Tree to produce its bountiful crop of scrumptious hazelnuts and to truly maximize your harvest, plant an Eta to pollinate its early-blooming period.

USDA Hardiness Zones
A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined as having a certain average annual minimum temperature, a factor relevant to the survival of many plants. In some systems other statistics are included in the calculations. The original and most widely used system, developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a rough guide for landscaping and gardening, defines 13 zones by long-term average annual extreme minimum temperatures. It has been adapted by and to other countries (such as Canada) in various forms. A plant may be described as "hardy to zone 10": this means that the plant can withstand a minimum temperature of −1.1 to 4.4 °C (30 to 40 °F).
