Description
The Halls Giant Hazelnut, also known as Merveille de Bollwiller, is a particularly vigorous and hardy variety that produces at a young age. It produces large round hazelnuts, ending in a point. Their shell is quite tender. The flesh of the almond is white, fragrant, sweet, and delicious when eaten fresh. Harvest takes place in late September and October. Late and hardy, this variety is particularly suitable for cold regions. It is not self-fertile, so be sure to plant another variety nearby.
Hazelnut, in Latin Corylus maxima, belongs to the Betulaceae family, just like birch. It is native to southeastern Europe and the Caucasus. It is a medium-sized fruit tree, monoecious, bearing separate male and female inflorescences on the same individual. This purple hazelnut prefers light and neutral soil, quite fertile, not too dry. Locations that are too hot and dry should be avoided. The Halls Giant Hazelnut is an old German variety, discovered by C. G. Bultner in Halle.
The hazelnut tree produces a trunk composed of a clump of about ten branches that can reach up to 5m (16ft) in height. Its brown bark can peel off in thin strips. Its heart-shaped leaves are toothed with a pointed tip. The green foliage is deciduous and falls in autumn. Monoecious, the hazelnut tree produces male flowers, yellow aments of 6cm (2in), and female flowers, very condensed, upright spikes.
The hazelnuts are generally grouped in small clusters of two or three fruits. Just before the fruit ripens, the shell appears. It hardens and changes colour, while the almond concentrates sugars, oil, and minerals. This ripening occurs in autumn, and harvesting takes place at the end of September and in October, when the hazelnuts easily detach from the branches.
Hazelnuts are commonly consumed as a dried fruit. They are also used in pastries and confectionery: grated into powder, crushed, or cut into flakes. They can also be pressed for oil, although it is prone to rancidity. This fruit is rich in omega-9, vitamin E, and vitamin B.

Planting and care
Plant the Hazelnut Halls Giant during a frost-free period. If your soil is very heavy with clay, balance it with a little gravel. Enrich the planting hole with some well-decomposed compost. Pruning should only be done after the first 2 years. It consists of removing any troublesome or crossing branches. To maintain a beautiful habit for your bushes, limit the diameter of your sections. To promote good fruiting, you can, after a few years, remove the oldest branches from the ground up. If you want to train your hazelnut as a hedge, more severe pruning will not weaken it. Harvesting takes place for this variety from mid-August. If you pick them too early, still on the tree, your hazelnuts will be extremely fresh but somewhat bland. Wait for them to fall to the ground to have all flavour.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
