login123 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Agricultural researchers in the USA have made a significant breakthrough in battling the eastern filbert blight which threatens to cripple hazelnut orchards. https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2013/02/18/171420517/growing-resistance-oregon-hazelnuts-battle-blight One intrepid researcher has risked life & limb to collect blight resistant seeds. https://www.npr.org/2019/04/11/712409240/one-mans-quest-to-change-americas-presence-in-the-global-hazelnut-industry Several decades into the battle, researchers seem to be winning, but one plant pathologist warns that the hazelnut isn't out of the woods yet.

Moderators hazelnut Posted April 14, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 14, 2019 I am devastated to be at risk But on a more serious note, the dedication of the people in those links you posted is truly remarkable. The one who has worked for 20 years to create a hazelnut blight free tree deserves an award. However people like that often get overlooked don't they.

login123 Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 Yes, indeed. That one is a real if unsung hero. Also, I was much encouraged to see that botanists have a sense of humor. I'll go out on a limb here and predict that the eastern filbert blight be defeated, and you're safe for now.
