Turkish Hazelnut

Does anyone have a source for Turkish hazelnuts (C. colurna)? Some of the traits from this species seem really ideal for my climate (drought & alkaline tolerance). I’ve been unable to locate a grower in the USA, I did find one source in Canada, but I don’t believe they ship to the states. I have been able to find many growing of the Grand Traverse hybrid, but I’m unsure if it carries any of the aforementioned traits of its parent. Anyone have experiences with it?

forest farm in oregon seems to have the species in stock: https://www.forestfarm.com/
(i am not affiliated and can’t vouch for them)

i have one of three surviving C. colurna that i’ve had for maybe 6 or 7 years…can’t remember where i got it, but i’ve searched through the possibilities and none of them have them anymore. the one, while it’s never really struggled, have moved pretty slowly. it’s currently about seven feet tall, all growing from a single trunk. so far i’m pretty unimpressed, but it’s just one (or three if you count the dead ones) data point…

no experience with that hybrid.

I bought two from Burnt Ridge Nursery in SW WA a few years ago but they did not make it, likely due to my underwatering. I do not see it on their site anymore, but they may have some seed or some leads on where to find it, and have been very helpful for me in the past. They also have dozens of other hazelnut varietals.

Thanks guys, I’ll look into both sites. Seems experiences have been pretty lukewarm, but I still think it could be worth trialing in my climate.
