Tonda Pacifica filbert is one of the varieties resistant to fungal diseases such as Eastern Filbert Blight (EFB), caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala. This disease affects hazelnuts and other nut crops, causing leaf wilting, shoot deformation, and reduced yield. Due to its resistance to this disease, the Tonda Pacifica variety is widely used for planting and controlling the spread of infection, making it a reliable choice for gardeners.
This variety was developed at Oregon State University (USA) and gained wide recognition for its large and high-quality nuts. Tonda Pacifica is characterized by early fruiting and high yield. The nuts ripen at the end of August to early September, with a kernel extraction rate of about 52%, indicating high fruit quality. Moreover, the variety is resistant to low temperatures and moniliosis, expanding its cultivation possibilities in various climatic conditions.
Tonda Pacifica is also valued for its large nuts, suitable for various culinary purposes, including chocolate production and desserts. Thanks to its characteristics, this filbert variety is an excellent choice for both commercial cultivation and private gardens, ensuring a stable and high-quality yield.
