Fruit Trees Nut Trees
Fruit trees and nut trees are special and unlike vegetables they will produce for a lot of years with a better return on effort than anything else in the garden.
In addition to fruit and nut production these trees can be value for shade, timber and as a support for climbing plants. Their crops are good sources of vitamins, minerals, fats and protein and make perfect snacks for kids.
While the planting location of a tree is highly important for a successful production of fruit and nuts, when selecting a fruit tree or a nut tree from your local nursery, some additional factors you should consider are:
* tree shape and size
* taste, texture and use of fruit
* time of harvest season
* disease and pest resistance.
Multi-Grafted trees are an alternative for small gardens where space is limited and several types of fruit are desired.

Trazel – corylus colurna

Posted on December 15th, 2008 in Nut Trees

Trazel,Corylus colurna, is short for tree Hazel. This is a member of the Betulaceae family and native to Turkey. It has deep green heavy textured leaves and a coarse, exfoliating bark. Naturally occurs through the temperate forests of north Turkey, Iran and the Balkans. Trazel is a large attractive nut bearing tree and the only hazel tree that grows on a single trunk. It can grow up to 15 meters high and has a shallow spreading crown. The trunk is gray and corky.

Tazel is an easily grown tree that succeeds in most soils but prefers a loamy, alkaline soil. It requires a moist soil but it is very drought resistant once established and will stand hard frosts when dormant.

In spring Trazel is covert in yellow catkins. The nuts are like cob nuts and project out of the end of the green bract. They ripen and fall in mid to late autumn. Nuts kept whole (not shelled) in a cool place will store for at least 12 months. They are eaten raw or cooked and Hazelnut oil edible oil also obtained from them. Wood is used for furniture.

The tree is propagated from seed. The seeds should be stratified or sown immediately into their nursery as viability is quite short. Plant them out into their permanent position in early summer. Seedlings are usually budded because of variability. Budded trazel nut trees will bear in 4 to 5 years.
