Kalasharsky

The Kalasharsky hazelnut variety is the result of Moldovan selection and features a vigorous tree with a high, rounded, and dense crown. Its flowering is medium-term, with a protandrous type, in which staminate flowers open 5-7 days earlier than pistillate ones. For better pollination, it is recommended to plant the Skinovsky variety. The fruits of the Kalasharsky variety are large, with a round, slightly ribbed shape, averaging about 17 grams. The shell is of medium thickness and density, while the kernel is large and separates completely upon cracking. The kernel's skin is straw-colored, and the kernel itself is oily, very tasty, accounting for about 50% of the nut's weight, with fat content reaching approximately 68%. The tree of the Kalasharsky variety has moderate winter hardiness and exhibits good annual fruiting. However, in years with high humidity, it may be susceptible to brown spot disease. Due to its characteristics and yield, this variety is popular among hazelnut growers, especially in Moldova, renowned for its promising and productive hazelnut varieties. Local nurseries offer Kalasharsky saplings at affordable prices, making it attractive for establishing commercial orchards. The Kalasharsky hazelnut is valued for its large, tasty nuts with high oil content, making it in demand both for personal cultivation and commercial production. Its vigorous tree with a dense crown ensures stable fruiting, while its flowering characteristics promote effective pollination when suitable neighboring varieties are chosen. All these qualities make the Kalasharsky hazelnut an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable and productive variety.
