CROSS-PCLLINATION— 
Nut trees are fruit trees and should be planted and cared for as such, except spraying. This is very seldom 
necessary. Most varieties are self-pollinating but like other fruiting trees, produce more regularly and larger 
crops if cross-pollinated by the same specie. Sweet Chestnuts and Filberts are definitely not self-pollinating. 
LENGTH OF SEASON FOR CROPS— 
Most nut trees need 125 growing days between spring and fall frosts to properly fill out the nuts. 
PLANTING DISTANCE— 
Nut trees should not be planted closer than 25 feet, much farther is better. Filbertnut trees as a hedge, 6 feet, 
otherwise 15 feet. Filbert bushes as a hedge, 4 feet, as clumps 6 feet.
