NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON - MIGHT RETURN
Pygmy Caragana is a shrub that is related to Common Caragana and has a compact size that is suitable for yards with limited space. Its size is perfect for landscaping and decorative hedges, and requires little maintenance. This nitrogen fixer has fine-textured foliage and small yellow flowers. Much like Common Caragana, it is hardy and drought tolerant.
Popular as a low maintenance commercial landscaping shrub and for hedging. This species does have tiny spines that might poke you a bit. It has a nice appealing texture when mature.
The Yamhill Hazelnut is a tasty, relatively cold hardy hazelnut that is a popular European variety.
It is known to be a strong grower and has moderate eastern filbert blight resistance. It is a suitable pollinizer for the York Hazelnut and European Hazelnut.
Introduced by Oregon State University, The Yamhill Hazelnut is used by Ferror Roche for their candy and chocolate spread desserts.
Not all hazelnuts pollinate with each other so it is important to pick the correct pollination pairs. Two compatible varieties of hazelnut are required to produce nuts. Nuts will only be produced once maturity is reached, around 2-3 years.
