About Yamhill
Yamhill is an Oregon State University hazelnut with eastern filbert blight resistance, compact growth, and high yield efficiency. Its smaller tree size makes it useful for higher-density orchard systems.
Growing Yamhill Hazelnut
Yamhill must be planted with compatible pollenizers and is not self-fertile. It typically ripens earlier than Barcelona, so begin harvest as nuts loosen from husks and fall naturally.
