During the summer of 2007 we finished landscaping our back yard with castlestone islands and paving stones in a similar way to the front yard. We were planning on putting trees and shurbs in as a wind break and privacy barrier to the public green strip in the back of our yard. I determined to put more hazelnuts and wanted to experiment with different varieties. In October of 2007 I ordered three more hazelnuts.
Grimo 186M (L) - Large nut, Faroka sdlg, bud mite and blight resistant - “This is a highly blight resistant, possibly immune, seedling of Faroka, a sister tree to 208D. The tree is large and moderately productive. The nut is large, well filled with a clean kernel. The nuts ripen at the end of September and drop clean from the husk. It has good resistance to bud mite” The Faroka was originally selected by by J. U. Gellatly (Westbank, British Columbia).
