Corylus avellana – Monmouth
An introduction from Rutgers Research program, Monmouth filbert is a cultivar of the European hazelnut (Corylus avellana) commonly called a filbert selected for its strong performance and disease tolerance. Filberts are nut-bearing shrubs or small trees that produce edible nuts often used in snacks, baking, and confectionery.
Key characteristics of the Monmouth cultivar:
Botanical type: Corylus avellana (hazelnut/filbert tree).
Nut quality: Produces round, thin-shelled nuts with a high meat-to-shell ratio, meaning more edible kernel and less shell.
Flavor & use: Good flavor; nuts are ideal for roasting and confections.
Disease resistance: Notable for excellent resistance to Eastern Filbert Blight a fungal disease that affects hazelnuts making it suitable for growth in regions prone to this disease.
Growth habit: A productive, vigorous shrub or small tree typically reaching heights around 1520 ft at maturity.
Pollination: Performs well when planted with compatible hazelnut cultivars for cross-pollination.
