Tonda di Giffoni

Tonda di Giffoni is an early, high-yielding Italian hazelnut variety producing medium-sized nuts of good flavour. Named for Giffoni Valle Piana in Campania, Italy — a major hazelnut-producing region. An early variety that starts the hazelnut harvest ahead of other varieties. Well-suited to NZ conditions. Self-fertile but crops more heavily with a companion variety. Pollinated by Barcelona, Tonda Romana or Merveille de Bollwiller. Deciduous. Available from specialist NZ nut nurseries.
