MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low Maintenance. Most Contorted Filbert sold commercially are grafted and must remove the suckers regularly to prevent partial reversion to the non-contorted characteristics of the root stock. Occasional issues include black knot, crown gall, apple mosaic virus, and leaf spot. Japanese Beetles can be a serious pest in some areas.
