Frequently Asked Questions

When should I reserve the plants?
We recommend reserving at least one season in advance to ensure availability and properly plan planting logistics according to your schedule.
What health guarantees do you offer?
We produce under strict phytosanitary protocols that ensure disease-free plants. Each plant includes full traceability from propagation to delivery.
Which European hazelnut varieties do you produce?
We produce the main commercial European hazelnut varieties: Tonda di Giffoni and Lewis, plus Ennis, a promising alternative we are developing and evaluating for future commercial release. We also offer a complete selection of compatible pollinator varieties, such as Barcelona, Willamette, Cassina, Halls Giant, Pauetet, and selected Chilean ecotypes. Our expert team advises you on the best pollinators based on your selected commercial variety and the specific conditions of your area.
In what formats do you sell European hazelnut plants?
We sell European hazelnut plants in two main formats: one-year plants in packs of 25 units and two-year plants in packs of 10 units. Two-year plants, which are the most requested, are delivered with single-axis training and formed laterals, ensuring better establishment in the orchard.
Is Vivero El Avellano certified?
Yes, we are a nursery registered with the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG), with disease-free plants and the best genetic quality.
What is the difference between 1- and 2-year-old European hazelnut plants?
One-year plants are more economical and require more time for field development. Two-year plants offer significant advantages: they come with single-axis training and formed laterals, enabling faster establishment and early productive development. This translates into quicker entry into production and better use of orchard space, making them the preferred option for growers seeking to optimize their investment.
