Both hardy and vigorous, the hazelnut prefers less rich soils to avoid the high requirements in pruning and trimming that are necessary when it is grown on very fertile land. Indeed, in poor soil, it grows well while enriching the soil thanks to its abundant falling foliage.
To optimize cultivation, it is recommended to plant this plant in strips or hedges in a natural orchard. It is also important to maintain a certain distance between the plants to ensure good development and an optimal harvest.
