"The Beast" is a trademarked cultivar released by Rutgers University that is 75% European and 25% American hazelnut. This cultivar was named "The Beast" due to how highly productive and vigorously growing it was. They are slightly larger than other hybrid hazelnut trees due to their primarily European genetics, growing up to 20 feet tall and 15 feet wide. They are highly resistant to Eastern Filbert Blight. "The Beast" should be planted with Grand Traverse for best pollination. Grows in zones 5-8 and requires 800 chill hours.
