The native ones have smaller nuts, and the european ones are less resistant to diseases, so hybrids of the two are preferable.
Had a difficult location that was clay on one end and loam on the other, i used thick cardboard and fresh woodchips on top for mulch. Cut holes for seedlings and planted them. Also added forest soil with mycelium to the holes, the cardboard and wood chips were soon colinised and helped the seedlings thrive. There now 8' tall by 12' wide.
The row is 75' long and produces a nice crop of nuts. I belive having several types helps yeilds.
Squirrels have spread them to several locations in my yard and the fields around me.
