The Kentucky Coffeetree has the largest leaves of any native tree in North America! In the summer, its large green canopy provides shade. While in the winter, its leathery bean pods act as a decorative element against the sky as they rattle in the wind. Beautiful year-round, this tree is an elegant addition to any landscape.

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.
