Hazelnut fruit seedlings – Istrian round

Istrian Round Hazelnut is an indigenous hazelnut variety from Croatia, known for its unique combination of characteristics and its significance in Istrian heritage.

It ripens at the end of August to early September, making it ideal for harvesting during late summer and early autumn. The fruits are large, round in shape, with a firm shell that provides protection for the kernel. The husk of the fruit is flush with the fruit itself, which can make harvesting difficult as the fruits do not easily fall out, considered a drawback, especially for mechanized harvesting.

The tree of the Istrian Round Hazelnut has a very vigorous canopy, providing ample space for fruit development. Although the tree can be quite vigorous, the yield is considered average.

Regarding pollination, the Istrian Round Hazelnut can be self-pollinating, but the yield will be higher when combined with other hazelnut varieties such as Tonda Đentile Romana, Tonda Gifoni, or Kosford.

In summary, the Istrian Round Hazelnut is a variety that combines authenticity with high quality. It is ideal for growers who wish to preserve tradition and cultivate hazelnuts of exceptional quality.
