Abstract
‘Tonda Pacifica’ is a new hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) cultivar for the kernel market. It was released by the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station in April 2010. Compared with ‘Barcelona’, Oregon’s leading cultivar, ‘Tonda Pacifica’ has smaller trees, higher nut yield efficiency, smaller nuts and kernels, higher kernel percentage, fewer nut and kernel defects, better suitability for the blanched kernel market, and earlier nut maturity. Kernels have a crisp texture, highly rated flavor and nutty aroma. The kernel quality is similar to that of its Italian parent ‘Tonda Gentile delle Langhe’. The small kernel size is well suited to use in chocolate products and baked goods. ‘Tonda Pacifica’ is susceptible to eastern filbert blight caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Muller.
