Quote:

"in the United States, hazelnut production is concentrated in two states, Oregon and Washington

"Hazel nuts are harvested annually in mid autumn. As autumn comes to a close, the trees drop their nuts and leaves. Most commercial growers wait for the nuts to drop on their own, rather than use equipment to shake them from the tree."
