Hazelnut Help

Hazelnut Help

Hi, I have five hazelnut trees that I planted from saplings about 8 years ago. This is the second year that four of the trees have put on a good number of flowers, but last year I didn’t get a single nut. Is there something I should do – some type of fertilizer they need? My soil is mostly red clay. Mid Atlantic region weather. The five trees include York, Theta, and Jefferson varieties.

What to do with existing trees when establishing a permaculture garden

What to do with existing trees when establishing a permaculture garden

Greetings!

I have recently moved into a home with a garden after many years of apartment jumping.

The garden is a dream for me!I now have a lawn space bordered with trees, shrubs and bushes.

I want to introduce fruit species along the border. However, that space is already taken up.

The existing trees as shown, are established and cast a lot of shade on the area.

1) What is the impact of removing the trees? On the soil specifically… 2) I am not too keen on cutting them down, would thinning them out be an option to allow more sunlight? If I plant fruit species in between existing trees – will there be too much nutrient competition? Will the fruit trees thrive with dappled sunlight?

I am in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Any other comments or tips are appreciated.

Thank you!
