That's what we call them in Oregon. Photo shot at Dorris Ranch - http://www.willamalane.org/pages/parks/dorris.shtml


(From Wikipedia) - "In Oregon, "filbert" is used for commercial hazelnuts in general. Use in this manner has faded partly due to the efforts of Oregon's hazelnut growers to brand their product to better appeal to global markets and avoid confusion. The etymology for 'filbert' is Norman French, probably named after Saint Philibert, whose feast day (20 August; old style) came when the nuts were mature."
