Corabel Hazel tree – Corylus avellana 'Corabel'

Main interest

The Corabel Hazel (Corylus avellana ‘Corabel’) is a highly appreciated cultivar for its very large hazelnuts and abundant yields. Harvested in October, these nuts are firm, tasty, and well-balanced, suitable for fresh eating or baking.
As one of the latest ripening cultivars, ‘Corabel’ also shows good resistance to hazelnut gall mite and bacterial blight, two common hazelnut diseases. This makes it reliable even in humid regions.
In addition to its fruit qualities, ‘Corabel’ is also a good pollinator, promoting the fruiting of other hazelnut varieties such as Merveille de Bollwiller, Ennis, Fertile de Coutard, Segorbe, Cosford. It is itself pollinated by Merveille de Bollwiller, Rode Zellernoot (Rouge de Zeller), Byzance. Its role in cross-pollination makes it an essential element in the design of a diversified orchard.
Thanks to its hardiness, productivity, and nut quality, Corylus avellana ‘Corabel’ is versatile and ideal for family orchards and hedgerows. Gardeners choosing this cultivar benefit from a robust, reliable hazel that extends the hazelnut season.
