Beau petit plant, en pleine santé car il a de beaux bourgeons, prêts à s'ouvrir dès le printemps prochain. :) Je compte le planter dans les jours à venir, avec tous les autres arbustes, commandés récemment aussi, qui vont constituer ma future haie libre (qui va remplacer la rangé monotone et parfaitement inutile de thuyas). Je pense que ce noisetier sera splendide à côté d'un autre noisetier (pourpre celui-là). J'ai vraiment hâte d'admirer l'ensemble de cette future haie, ponctuée d'abres fastigiés, disséminés par-ci par-là, dont la plupart des spécimens (arbres comme arbustes) ont d'ailleurs été achetés chez Promesse de Fleurs: un cerisier, un ragouminier, deux poiriers (dont le feuillage se pare de splendides couleurs flamboyantes en automne, en prime), un sureau "Black Tower", un physocarpe "Diabolo", un amélanchier de Lamarck, un goumi du Japon, un bouleau fastigié, un eucalyptus gunnii "Cagire", un liquidambar styraciflua "Slender Silhouette", trois berberis ottawensis (un "Superba" et deux "Auricoma"), un cornouiller sanguin "Winter Flame Anny", un abélia grandiflora, un pyracatha coccinea "Orange Glow", une herbe de la Pampa "Sunningdale Silver", et enfin, deux viburnum trilobum "Bailey Compact". Et parmi les buissons persistants, il y aura cinq lonicera nitida (trois "Baggesen's Gold" et un "Silver Beauty"), deux minis pyracanthas "Sparkler" et un mini abélia "Kaléidoscope". Cela pourrait donner quelques idées à d'autres jardiniers, qui sait...... je pense en tout cas que le résultat sera de toute beauté. :) Je me permets également un petit conseil: ne jamais planter les arbustes d'une future haie trop serrés. Personnellement, je compte respecter la largeur adulte de chaque plant, même si cela signifie que ma haie prendra plus de temps à devenir vraiment occultante.

Description

The Corylus avellana Nottingham Prolific or Pearson's Prolific is a variety of hazelnut bush with medium to large fruits. The hazelnut is elongated in shape and has a well-filled shell. You can harvest the fruits from mid-August, as it is a fairly early variety. The production of this bush is regular and abundant.

 

Formerly known as the Coudrier, this Hazelnut is a bushy shrub that can reach 5m (16ft) in height. In addition to producing fruits of very good taste quality, it is also decorative. Like all Hazelnuts, in winter it is adorned with small aments hanging from its branches. The aments are clusters of tiny green to yellow male flowers that release pollen.

In February, take the time to observe the female flowers, they are very discreet. They resemble small buds from which a small bright red crest emerges. These are the flowers that will become your hazelnuts... spot them before the squirrel in your garden does. Corylus avellana varieties are good bush plants that are very tolerant of soil, water, and frost. Use them in flower beds, as standalone plants or even as hedges.

Planting and care

Carry out the planting of the Early Hazelnut Nottingham Prolific during the frost-free period. If your soil is very clay, balance it out with a little gravel. Enrich the planting hole with some well-decomposed compost. Pruning should only be done after the first 2 years. It involves removing any interfering or crossing branches. To maintain a beautiful habit for your bushes, limit the diameter of your cuts. To promote good fruiting, you can remove the oldest branches from the ground after a few years. If you want to train your Hazelnuts as a hedge, more severe pruning will not weaken them. Harvesting for this variety takes place in mid-August. If you pick them early, while still on the tree, your hazelnuts will be extremely fresh but slightly bland. Wait for them to fall to the ground to enjoy all their flavour.
