Now that it's winter here in Tassie, it's time to plant open rooted trees. In this video I plant the Hazelnut trees (filberts) I talked about in summer.
The Hazelnut info sheet mentioned in the video can be found at www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/ass...

Great video. I am envious of your winters. Our past winter we went to -25f. I’ve watched that area go through many changes along through your videos. Turned into a good area…….

Hi from Vancouver Island John, love your videos. Have you tried growing Moringa Olifera, it’s very healthy. I have the promise of a splendid crop this year.

I dont think you need to have concerns over that heavy clay soil its full of nutrients. Here in the UK we have similar and hazel is a very common part of our hedgerows. Squirrels love ours at the end of our drive and distribute the nuts everywhere.

That's encouraging! But thankfully we won't have the squirrels to compete with!

Hi John, have you ever considered planting your fruit trees on mounds to help with the clay soil issue? Thanks for the video :)

@kdegraa 10 ай бұрын

Yeah mound up the trees. I’ve heard people sometimes plant trees in raised garden beds or even a few old car tyres placed on top of each other filled in with good soil.

@homesteading 10 ай бұрын

For most trees I have planted the clay isn't an issue. But, yes mounding can help, especially if drainage is a problem. However being on slope we generally experience good drainage despite having the clay. So with one exception I haven't considered it as worth the effort.

Good luck with that, don't hazelnuts need good frosts? How are your frosts?

@homesteading 10 ай бұрын

As I understand it, it's not so much a matter of frosts being needed but longer periods of low temps (-7c.) Given that other folk here in Tassie with similar temps to us do get hazelnut crops I don't expect that to be a problem.

think better have atlest tow almond tree

@homesteading 10 ай бұрын

Yes, it would give better pollination.

@Beaguins 10 ай бұрын

@@homesteading Yes, I was going to say something similar. I think almonds need another variety for pollination. Thanks for the video! I love hazelnuts.
