The initial cross was made by Shawn Mehlenbacher and David Smith in 2001. PollyO was bred for the blanched nut market and selected for its resistance to Eastern Filbert Blight, excellent quality, high productivity, and fast growth. It was eventually released by the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station in 2018. The variety was named PollyO in honour of Polly Owen who was the director of the hazelnut industry office for over two decades. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Grow It: \u003c\/strong\u003eBred for the blanched nut market, PollyO produces an excellent quality nut for fresh eating and baking (including use in chocolate!).
