In-Depth Description
American Hazelnut thrives in a variety of soil types, but it prefers well-drained, loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Plant in full sun to partial shade, ideally in a location protected from strong winds. Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Pruning can help maintain a manageable size and promote healthy growth, but it’s generally low-maintenance once established.
