Corylus : Corylus is a genus of deciduous trees and shrubs known as hazels, native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. This genus contains C. maxima and defines its closest botanical context.
Filbert : A filbert is a hazelnut, especially one associated with long husks or particular cultivated hazel forms. C. maxima nuts are commonly marketed under this name.
Corylus avellana : Corylus avellana is the common hazel, a European and western Asian species widely cultivated for nuts. It is the principal cultivated hazel often compared with C. maxima.
Lambert Filbert : Lambert Filbert is a cultivated hazel form associated with Corylus maxima and elongated nuts. It exemplifies the large-fruited selections grown under the filbert name.
Betulaceae : Betulaceae is a family of flowering plants that includes birches, alders, hornbeams, and hazels. Hazels belong to this family alongside several familiar nut- and timber-producing trees.
Hazelnut cultivation : Hazelnut cultivation is the farming of hazel plants for edible nuts and related products. Its crop depends on orchard practices shared with other cultivated hazels.
Corylus colurna : Corylus colurna, the Turkish hazel, is a tree species native to southeastern Europe and western Asia. This regional relative differs in tree form and is also used as a nut rootstock.
Cosford hazel : Cosford is a named hazel cultivar valued for its edible nuts and used in cultivation. Its cultivation illustrates how named hazels are selected for nut qualities.
Hazelnut : A hazelnut is the edible nut of a hazel, especially species in the genus Corylus. The crop name is shared across cultivated hazel species, including C. maxima.
Pollination management : Pollination management is the deliberate coordination of pollen sources, flowering, and pollinators to improve crop set. Planting compatible hazel cultivars helps secure nut production.
