| Another thread got me thinking about trying to propogate one of my hybrid hazelnuts by layering. I have a Halles Giant that has been in the ground 2-3 years and has multiple trunks. I was planning to grow all five of my hybrids in tree form, but I let this one get away from me a bit.
The pic is a bit dark, but I think you can see the multiple stems with the tallest one being the one I will keep. Some of the stems are thin enough that I think I can bend them down to the ground and attempt to layer them, but I don't know if I can do this now or if I should wait for spring. What say you? Any experience with this? Chuck |

| I think you can start the layering process anytime you want, but that it will probably take at least a season for much root development. I've tried layering some hazel, and haven't had success there. |
