Possibly, but to harvest the hazelnuts they let them drop to the ground then sweep or vacuum them up with large equipment. Mulch interferes with this process.
You actually want to make soil dry and then you water... And then it drys fast and you water again... The more you are able to do that the better the plants will be That feeding will boost them, if you keep your roots in always wet never dry plants will be sick.
Probably not feasible in an agricultural setting. In the home setting, I would mulch them. I would disagree about them not being fond of damp soil, I would say they wouldn't do well in always wet conditions, but slightly moist is ok. Mulch is good for just about everything, prevents runoff/erosion, lessens the need for irrigation, and eventually feeds the plant. Thats how nature does is. Other than the desert, I'm not aware of any forest that doesn't have a natural mulch layer.
@@georgecarlin2656 I can believe that, as tropical rainforests don't really need to retain moisture. The tree canopy would protect the soil from UV light. Can't compare that to North American forests though, with the exception of parts of the Pacific NW. We have much wider temperature swings and drought. In most parts of the US, if you created a bare patch of soil, it wouldn't take long for it to be covered in plants, which is another form of mulch.
I just planted 4 different types, make sure you bought and planted at least 2 types, and it can take over 7 years to get anything. I'm making trees out of mine, one central stalk.
To Mr. Don Blake, didn't know you are a grower of hazelnuts, saw you on utube, its a job security position as you know the hazelnut is now in almost everything, still want to work in this particular industry,can you contact me if there is employment available thank you Pat Howard
Mine grow plenty of nuts in Tennessee, but the squirrels are too fast.
Planted about 10 of these trees about 15 years ago out the back of my home, now have a bunch of rare red squirells that visit my garden
Tree blight tells us there is something wrong with the underlying health of our trees?
I wonder if monoculture contributes to this?
If you had good mulch you wouldn't have to water the trees

@@mplslawnguy3389 I heard the forests in the subtropics with lots of rain have little to no mulch because the fungi/bacteria eat it too quickly.

I'm i Tennessee I've never got nut's from my bushes should I cut them back to one stem an make a tree?

James, I’m also in Tennessee and plan on planting about 20 bushes next spring. Did you have any luck with yours?
yes they are growing without care except mowing around .But the nuts are small if i would fertizes them they might get big nuts.@@chaddyboy0000

How many meters must be between two trees of hazelnut?
3 to 4, 15 to 18 foot.
@@jasonbourne1596 he said "meters", you know, the homo sapiens unit for distance.
@@dogrudiyosun I know what he said, and he can learn to convert so can you. The last part of your comment was even dummer.
@@dogrudiyosun Also,.learn to fucking read, I literally answered his question. I also answered it for other people who may not use metric.
@@jasonbourne1596 i am sick of converting your shit. start using metric homo sapiens units.
Nutella anyone?
