Corylus 'Carmela'
Common name:
Grimo 208P hazel, Grimo 208P filbert
Family:
Betulaceae (birch family)
Synonym:
Corylus 'Grimo 208P'
Distribution:
hybrid
Hardiness:
USDA Zone 5
Life form:
Deciduous shrub/Subshrub
Comments:
A shrub to 8' originating from breeding work crossing several species of filbery- including European and American filbert. Selected by Grimo Nut Nursery in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. In addition to their edible fruit (nuts), the primary value of these hybrids is their resistance to the devastating effects of Eastern Filbert Blight which can kill the European filbert in 2-3 years. Another ornamental asset is their expanding male flowers (catkins), yellow-green, 5-6" long, in late March/April.
