Hazel - Corabel

The Corabel hazelnut tree produces large hazelnuts with a thin shell, a plump and sweet kernel. A recently selected French variety, it combines productivity with exceptional taste quality, specifically developed for these characteristics.

This hardy tree adapts to most moist, well-drained soils and prefers a sunny to semi-shaded exposure.

It requires little maintenance once established, mainly needing annual or bi-annual pruning in early spring to encourage the production of young wood and thus promote fruiting the following year.

Cross-pollination significantly improves production: it is essential to associate it with one or more other compatible hazelnut trees, planted within 10 meters. For example: Negret, Gunslebert, and Longue d'Espagne

As flowering occurs very early, around mid-February in mild regions like Brittany, it is necessary to promote pollen transmission through the proximity of the plants and wind transport. And encourage wild pollinators such as bumblebees and mason bees.

Cold-resistant, it thrives in temperate regions and produces its fruits from the third year. Hazelnuts, harvested in autumn, offer excellent storage potential and are suitable for both fresh consumption and artisanal processing.
