It was initially bred by Shawn Mehlenbacher and David Smith in 1997. Despite its small nut size, Wepster was selected for its resistance to Eastern Filbert Blight, excellent quality, high productivity, reliable cropping, and fast growth. It was eventually released by the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station in 2013. The variety was named Wepster in honour of the Wepster family who were quite active in the Oregon hazelnut industry and made important contributions to the breeding program.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Grow It: \u003c\/strong\u003eWepster boasts many excellent traits including high productivity and reliability, disease resistance, and great kernel quality.
