Filbert trees are grown from disease resistant or immune varieties. Contact us for special requirements.

European Filbert, Corylus avellana

A small bush growing to 12 feet tall, it is the most common choice for truffle production. It can be trained as a single trunk if desired. Its life span is about 25 years, with maximum full production of 15 years.

Turkish Filbert, Corylus colurna

About 30 feet tall at maturity, it has the advantage of having a single trunk. It takes two years longer than the European filbert to come into production, but lives about ten years longer.

Holly Leaved Oak, Quercus ilex

Ranging from a small tree to 25 feet tall, this live oak retains its serrated green leaves throughout the year. Longevity is 50 years, but production does not begin until the 10th through 12th year. It is particularly adapted to somewhat warmer and dryer climates.

English Oak, Quercus robur, Quercus pedunculata

Ranging from a small tree to about 40 feet tall, it is often used as an ornamental. This deciduous tree has typical lobed oak leaves. It lives for 50 or more years and is good for inter-planting with filberts. Production begins after 12 to 15 years.

Downy Oak, Quercus pubescens

It is the longest lived of the truffle producing oaks, at over 75 years. It can attain tremendous size. For truffle orchards, these are normally pruned to form multiple trunks to maintain orchard conditions. As with other oaks, production begins after about 12 years, and it is recommended as an inter-planted tree.
