The Ferjan variety of hazelnut is a new promising variety with fruiting on lateral branches, ensuring early fruiting at the age of 5-7 years. The nuts ripen relatively late and have a spherical shape with a thin, slightly scaly shell. The nut size is medium, usually 28 to 32 mm, with halves firmly attached to each other. The kernel separates easily from the shell and constitutes 46-50% of the total nut weight, making this variety especially attractive for producing shelled kernels.
The Ferjan variety is characterized by high productivity, yielding approximately 4 tons of dried nuts per hectare on average. The nuts have good taste qualities and store well, which is important for long-term storage and product marketing. Due to its growth structure and fruiting characteristics, this variety is suitable for intensive cultivation and industrial hazelnut production.
To grow the Ferjan variety, it is recommended to use high-quality seedlings selected for high yield and cold resistance. Various seedling options are available, including dwarf, low-growing, and early-maturing varieties, allowing gardeners to choose the optimal material for specific conditions and needs.
