Tonda Di Giffoni Hazelnut trees are an Italian cultivar prized for exquisite flavor. Tonda Di Giffoni produces medium-sized, round kernels that are very easy to process. This cultivar is one of the varieties sought out and prized by Ferrero Rocher for use in their chocolate confectionary and Nutella spread. These trees grow 8-12 feet tall and are extremely resistant to Eastern Filbert Blight. Tonda Di Giffoni Hazelnut trees require a mid-season pollinator and are capable of pollinating all hybrid hazelnut varieties except Barcelona. Requires 800-1000 chill hours and grows in USDA zones 4-8.

USDA Hardiness Zones
A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined as having a certain average annual minimum temperature, a factor relevant to the survival of many plants. In some systems other statistics are included in the calculations. The original and most widely used system, developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a rough guide for landscaping and gardening, defines 13 zones by long-term average annual extreme minimum temperatures. It has been adapted by and to other countries (such as Canada) in various forms. A plant may be described as "hardy to zone 10": this means that the plant can withstand a minimum temperature of −1.1 to 4.4 °C (30 to 40 °F).
