Filbert European Corylus avellana Corylus avellana commonly called European Filbert, European hazel, cobnut and Harry Lauder’s walking stick is a deciduous, thicket-forming, multi-trunked suckering shrub. Common names of filbert and hazel are likely interchangeable. Hazel is more often used in reference to wild specimens and filbert is more likely to be used in reference to cultivated plants. The filbert nuts to be produced in commerce primarily come from plants (C. avellano x C. maxima). ‘Contorta’, commonly called contorted filbert, corkscrew hazel or Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick, is contorted version of the species plant. It was discovered growing as a sport in an English hedgerow In the mid-1800s by Victorian Gardner Cannon Ellacombe. This plant was given the common name of Harry Lauder’s walking stick in the 1900s in honor of the Scottish entertainer Harry Lauder. The European Filbert leaves are dark green, slightly covered with fine soft hairs above and beneath; alternate; 2-4” in length, somewhat circular to egg – shaped or heart – shaped, abruptly tapers to a point at apex, edge doubly toothed, often with lobes, petiole ¼” to ½” long. The twigs are brown, glandular – hairy. Buds green to brown, hairless with hairy scale; overlapping, egg shaped to round. Flowers/Fruit: Flowers monoecious; male flowers are large (2”to 3”) catkins, yellow – brown, late winter to early spring blooming; female flowers inconspicuous. Fruit a nut; nuts inside involucre, which is toothed or lubed and nearly the length of the nut; ¾” in length; edible fruit grown commercially as a crop. European Filbert bark is pale to gray – brown, smoother with age, not an ornamental feature. The wood is unimportant; susceptible to wood rots and decays. The deciduous, rounded, multi trunked shrub typically grows 8 – 10’ tall and the features, as the cultivar name suggests, twisted and spiraled branches, twigs and leaves. You can find this tree by the front porch at the Salt Lake City Cemetery. .

Nutritive Value and Degradability of Leaves from Temperate Woody Resources for Feeding Ruminants in Summer
3rd European Agroforestry Conference Montpellier, 23-25 May 2016 Silvopastoralism (poster) NUTRITIVE VALUE AND DEGRADABILITY OF LEAVES FROM TEMPERATE WOODY RESOURCES FOR FEEDING RUMINANTS IN SUMMER Emile JC 1*, Delagarde R 2, Barre P 3, Novak S 1 Corresponding author: [email protected] mailto:(1) INRA, UE 1373 FERLUS, 86600 Lusignan, France (2) INRA, UMR 1348 INRA-Agrocampus Ouest, 35590 Saint-Gilles, France (3) INRA, UR 4 URP3F, 86600 Lusignan, France 1/ Introduction Integrating agroforestry in livestock farming systems may be a real opportunity in the current climatic, social and economic conditions. Trees can contribute to improve welfare of grazing ruminants. The production of leaves from woody plants may also constitute a forage resource for livestock (Papanastasis et al. 2008) during periods of low grasslands production (summer and autumn). To know the potential of leaves from woody plants to be fed by ruminants, including dairy females, the nutritive value of these new forages has to be evaluated. References on nutritive values that already exist for woody plants come mainly from tropical or Mediterranean climatic conditions (http://www.feedipedia.org/) and very few data are currently available for the temperate regions. In the frame of a long term mixed crop-dairy system experiment integrating agroforestry (Novak et al. 2016), a large evaluation of leaves from woody resources has been initiated. The objective of this evaluation is to characterise leaves of woody forage resources potentially available for ruminants (hedgerows, coppices, shrubs, pollarded trees), either directly by browsing or fed after cutting. This paper presents the evaluation of a first set of 12 woody resources for which the feeding value is evaluated through their protein and fibre concentrations, in vitro digestibility (enzymatic method) and effective ruminal degradability.

Available online a t www.pelagiaresearchlibrary.com Pelagia Research Library Advances in Applied Science Research, 2016, 7(1):1-7 ISSN: 0976-8610 CODEN (USA): AASRFC Effects of processing treatments on nutritional quality of raw almond (Terminalia catappa Linn.) kernels *Makinde Folasade M. and Oladunni Subomi S. Department of Food Science and Technology, Bowen University, Iwo, Osun State, Nigeria _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Almond (Terminalia catappa Linn) is one of the lesser utilized oil kernel distributed throughout the tropics including Nigeria ecosystem. In this research work, the effects of soaking, blanching, autoclaving and roasting on the proximate, mineral, vitamin and anti-nutritional concentrations of almond kernel were determined. The result of chemical composition revealed that raw almond kernel contained 11.93% moisture, 23.0% crude protein, 48.1% crude fat, 2.43% crude fiber, 2.69% ash, 12.0% carbohydrate, 0.35mg/100g thiamine, 0.15mg/100g riboflavin, 0.19mg/100g niacin and minerals among which the most important are potassium (9.87 mg/100g), calcium (4.66 mg/100g) and magnesium (4.45 mg/100g). Tannin, phytate and oxalate concentration in raw almond kernel were 0.15, 0.13 and 0.15mg/100g respectively. Increase in ash and fiber was noted for treated samples with time compared to raw almond. Compared to untreated kernels, soaking, blanching and autoclaving decreased fat content but there was increase during roasting of the kernels. Mineral concentrations were significantly increased by various treatments compared to raw kernel. However, roasting for 15 min resulted in highest increase in potassium (41.2 percent), calcium (45.1 percent), phosphorus (43.3 percent) and magnesium (43.6 percent).

Juglandaceae (Walnuts)
A start for archaeological Nutters: some edible nuts for archaeologists. By Dorian Q Fuller 24.10.2007 Institute of Archaeology, University College London A “nut” is an edible hard seed, which occurs as a single seed contained in a tough or fibrous pericarp or endocarp. But there are numerous kinds of “nuts” to do not behave according to this anatomical definition (see “nut-alikes” below). Only some major categories of nuts will be treated here, by taxonomic family, selected due to there ethnographic importance or archaeological visibility.

The Expansion of Hazel (Corylus Avellana L.) in the Southern Alps: a Key for Understanding Its Early Holocene History in Europe?
ARTICLE IN PRESS Quaternary Science Reviews 25 (2006) 612–631 The expansion of hazel (Corylus avellana L.) in the southern Alps: a key for understanding its early Holocene history in Europe? Walter Finsingera,b,Ã, Willy Tinnera, W.O. van der Knaapa, Brigitta Ammanna aInstitute of Plant Sciences Universita¨t Bern, Altenbergrain 21, CH– 3013 Bern, Switzerland bDipartimento di Biologia Vegetale, Universita` di Roma ‘‘La Sapienza’’, P.le Aldo Moro 5, I– 00185 Roma, Italy Received 8 October 2004; accepted 17 May 2005 Abstract In Northwestern and Central Europe the Holocene expansion of Corylus occurred before or at the same time as that of other thermophilous trees (e.g. Quercus). This sequence of expansion has been explained by migrational lag, competition, climatic changes, human assistance, or disturbance by fire. In the southern Alps, however, hazel expanded around 10,500 cal yr BP, more than two millennia after oak had become important. This delayed expansion is in contrast with the rapid expansion often assumed for hazel in central Northern Europe. We use two well-dated pollen and charcoal records from the southern forelands of the Alps: Lago Piccolo di Avigliana and Lago di Origlio. We conclude that distance of refugia, speed of seed dispersal, and competition cannot sufficiently explain the absence of the hazel expansion prior to the establishment of mixed oak forests in the southern Alps. Instead our records indicate that higher moisture availability and low temperatures inhibited hazel and favoured the establishment of pine and mixed oak forests during the Allerød. The expansion of hazel 11,000–10,500 cal yr BP was favoured by a combination of high seasonality, summer drought and frequent fires, which helped hazel to out-compete oak in the south as well as north of the Alps.

Corylus Americana, American Hazelnut
Of interest this week at Beal... American Hazelnut Corylus americana Family: the Birch family, Betulaceae Also called American filbert W. J. Beal This nut-bearing member of the birch family is not as well known as its commercial Botanical Garden European counterpart, Corylus avellana. Ours are located on the hill overlooking the north side of the pond. Just as the European filbert has a long history of use in Europe, the American hazelnut has a long history of being harvested for food by the Indigenous First Nations peoples of Eastern North America. The fruit of the American hazelnut is comparable to the fruit of the cultivated European hazelnut, except significantly smaller. American hazelnut ranges from Maine west to Saskatchewan, south to eastern Oklahoma, east to northern Florida. In Michigan, American hazelnut is common throughout the southerly counties of the Lower Peninsula, but at the approximate latitude of the town of Clare, it is replaced by the more northerly distribution of beaked hazelnut, Corylus cornuta. American hazelnut flowers a few days after temperatures are consistently above 40 degrees. Male flowers are catkins that expand upon opening to release massive quantities of pollen. The unexpanded male catkins comprise one of its most recognizable winter features. Female flowers are striking but tiny sprays of bright red stigmata up to three millimeters in length. Flowers of both sexes are born on the same stems. American hazelnut forms thickets some 6-10 feet (2-3.3 m) in height especially along forest trails and edges. After pollination, the female flowers expand and wrap themselves in large frilly bracts that are the hallmark of their presence.

Identifying and Evaluating Eastern Filbert Blight Resistant
IDENTIFYING AND EVALUATING EASTERN FILBERT BLIGHT RESISTANT HAZELNUTS (CORYLUS SPP.) IN NEW JERSEY By JOHN MICHAEL CAPIK A thesis submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Graduate Program in Plant Biology written under the direction of Dr. Thomas J. Molnar and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Identifying and Evaluating Eastern Filbert Blight Resistant Hazelnuts (Corylus spp.) in New Jersey by JOHN MICHAEL CAPIK Thesis Director: Dr. Thomas J. Molnar Eastern filbert blight (EFB), caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller, is a destructive disease of European hazelnut (Corylus avellana). While the wild North American hazelnut, C. americana, only experiences minor symptoms, commercially grown C. avellana is extremely susceptible. Anisogramma anomala, whose range includes much of the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains, is considered to be the main impediment to commercial hazelnut production in the East. As such, identifying and developing resistant C. avellana germplasm is critical to establishing an industry in this region. To support this goal, several research projects were undertaken. In the first study, 193 clonal hazelnut accessions spanning multiple Corylus species and inter-specific hybrids were examined for their disease response to EFB in New Jersey. In summary, despite the fact that many of the plants were shown to be resistant in Oregon, some accessions developed EFB in New Jersey. These results support previous work that suggests different isolates of the pathogen are present in the eastern U.S., and resistance may not hold up unilaterally.
