Hazelnut ‘Red Cracker’

A striking red filbert, with dark red leaves and pretty red husks with flavoursome, crisp, white inner kernels. This vigorous tree is stunning in spring with its highly attractive foliage, and also provides winter interest when it is covered in yellow catkins which hold well on the tree.

Hazelnut ‘Red Cracker’ is self-fertile and therefore does not require a pollination companion to produce its edible nuts. Height and spread: 3m (9′).

Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years.
Estimated time to best yields: 5 years.
