October 23, 2018A.It would be difficult to tell what the issues is from your description. Have you tested the branches to determine if the tree has died? You can bend branches and if they snap and break off, they are no longer alive.
You can do a bark scratch test; as described in the link below.
Do you see signs of pests or disease?https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/tgen/tree-scratch-test.htm

January 25, 2020Q.Can I grow a Hazelnut Tree in the Caribbean?
I heard there are different types of Hazelnut trees and was interested in growing something like the European variety. However I'm unsure if it can grow in Trinidad & Tobago. Our temperature rnages from 22°C to 31°C. Also, are they self-fertilize or do they need a partner tree for polllination?

Certified ExpertA.Hazelnut trees are monoecious, meaning that they produce male and female flowers on the same plant. However they are not suited for the tropical climate, unless you can find an exception from a local supplier/grower. The tree may grow, but flowering and fruiting may be a big disappointment. Cashew and macadamia are better bets.

Certified ExpertA.I don't see clear signs of disease, which leads me to believe that the soil in that particular spot is deficient in something. Possibly, Nitrogen.
You can confirm with a soil test.

UKQ.Should I Re Pot Saplings Now ?
Hi, I have a couple of young Hazel & Sweet chestnut saplings, about 2 feet tall. They are in pots about 6inch diameter. I have just checked them, and a couple of tiny roots are coming out of the bottom of the pot. It is mid summer here in the UK (or supposed to be) so it put me off re potting them now, but I don't want to leave them if it's doing harm. Any advice appreciated. Baz

Certified ExpertA.As long as the temperatures are mild, you can re-pot at any time. The UK spans our USDA zone equivalency of 6 through 10, so depending on where you are the temperatures may still be too warm.
Spring and Autumn are best, though.
Here are some articles that will help you to care for the trees:

4 to 5Q.Will The Suckers Of The Hazel Nut Produce Nuts?
I have several Hazelnut bushes but have forgotten what kind they are. I think they are all different. But there are a multitude of suckers coming up from them and I need to know if the suckers are able to be planted elsewhere and will produce nut bearing plants.

August 25, 2021Q.My Hazelnut Tree Has Big Shell But The Nut Itself Is Very Small And Very Hard To Open.
It is an American hazelnut and I planted it 8 years ago. It has been producing nuts for 4 years and it is very tall. I harvest the nuts early because the squirrels are having a feast. Thank you for your reply

Certified ExpertA.I would test soil fertility first. This article will help:
https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/testing-soil.htm
If this shows that everything is within a reasonable range, then you may need another pollinator. Most hazelnuts don't produce well with just one tree around, though there should be some production.
