redoakboo Clermont, FL Nov 20, 2008

I have just moved to Clermont, FL from GA and have brought my Corylus Avellana with me. It is only about 2' tall and had been planted in GA for about a year. Will it do well in this area? I planted it in a area that get's sun in the mornings.

There's a pretty good chance it could get a little crispy in summer. Just make sure that spot you picked doesn't get direct sunlight after 11:30 or so and that if you go through a dry spell you give it plenty of supplemental water. Hopefully you amended that crazy Clermont soil with some organic matter. (My grandma's house is there so I know that thin black sand well).

Thanks for the info. It does get pure shade after about 12 noon. My Clermont sand is predominately orange!! Reminds me of the awful GA clay, we just left.

I'm not familiar with Clermont's orange soil. If the soil is too heavy, add in some pine bark soil conditioner when you plant. If it's too sandy, add mushroom compost, leaf compost and/or composted manure.
