are hazelnuts the same as filberts
Filberts are the same as hazelnuts. There are more than 3,755,000 hazelnut trees in Oregon, worth $49.5 million, grown on 30,000 acres, mostly in western Oregon. Most of Oregon's hazelnuts are grown in the Willamette Valley from Eugene, north to Vancouver, Wash. Some are also grown in British Columbia. The United States produces about only about 3 percent of the world's hazelnuts.
