We still have thousands of Badgersett Standard hazel tubelings available for this season, and we might  have specific machine-picked types left (depending on the actual viability of years-stored seed, which varies).  We are essentially SOLD OUT of all other types of hazel tubelings for 2015. If you place an order with one of our many other tubeling types, and allow substitutions: we will get as close to your desires as we can, and in some cases may still be able to fill the order as you desire. Orders with "no substitutions" for anything other than Standard and Machine Picked will have to wait for 2016 at this point. Planting is in full swing in the greenhouse, and we've got thousands of hazels soaking up today's sunshine!

If you're on our catalog email list, you should already have seen this little note from orders@badgersett.com. If you want us to add you to the list, just send an email to that address! Hello Folks, HAZEL MAZE OPEN! ---------------- As those of you in neighboring states should already know, the Hazel Maze at Badgersett Farm is now open, and will be on weekends through the end of October. We now have a Facebook page with the most recent pictures and status updates for the maze. Check it out and Like us at: http://facebook.com/BadgersettHazelMaze PLANT CATALOG UPDATE -------------------- The hazel and chestnut harvests are in, and hickory-pecan harvest is nearly finished. With the seed in, we've updated our plant catalogs for 2013 orders. The largest changes are to the NeoHybrid Hazel catalog, where we now have a little bit of a buying guide. ONLY AVAILABLE FROM BADGERSETT! MACHINE PICKED hazels are now a larger part of the catalog. 2012 marks the second...

We ARE currently taking orders for 2012 shipment of plants; as a rule we will take orders up to one year in advance of first desired ship date. We expect more bare-root dormant tubeling hazel and chestnut material than usual this year, and possibly some hickory-pecan as well. We also have excellent availability for nearly all classes of standard tubelings, except for some select and XL hazels which may be sold out, depending on how the early growing season goes here. We will be updating our pricing within the next month, BUT YOU CAN LOCK IN TODAY'S PRICES BY PLACING YOUR ORDER NOW! Along with the pricing update will come some new plant types, including the first-available-anywhere MACHINE PICKED seed. Highly experimental, of course. Since our plant catalog threatens to become even more complex, we may also add a "just send me some hazel plants" option. Hopefully I will be able to put some very basic updates on the main website as well. Soon to come: an official announcem...

In this picture you can see some of the over 20,000 plants we have started in the main, solar-heated greenhouse (starting on February 2; this picture taken Feb. 28). Each of those tags is in one frame = 98 plants! This is more than we produced all last year, but we are already sold out of some classes. Below is a copy of the email I just sent out to our catalog list; send an email to orders@badgersett.com if you didn't get that email, and want to be on the list. These availability numbers are of course estimates, because of variability in seed germination, the growing season, and customers' cancellation or postponement of outstanding orders. If you want plants that are "sold out", you can still send in your order to save your spot in line for when they do become available, and if you specify "ship when ready" for a ship date, we may be able to get you plants earlier than we expected. As always, your order is more likely to be filled if you specify that you...
