Productinformation The main time for harvesting hazelnuts is around september and october, in Turkey, for example, already around july and august. The hazelnut tree is a long-lived, small shaped tree with round, oval leaves. Contrary to other nut-carrying trees it shows no signs of blossom in spring time: The male flowers are larval-shaped tassels, and the female ones simply small, nearly not visible, buds.
