Where to find hybrid/neohybrid hazelnut seed?

Does anyone have leads on where to get hybrid hazelnut seed, or neohybrid like Badgersett? Not overly picky about genetics, just want EFB resistance and decent future production.

I got some from Perfect Circle farm last year, but mice got them all. Haven’t seen any for sale there this year. EFN had seedlings available for sale, but they sold out before I got chance to order. I only want a couple, shouldn’t be this hard!

If anyone is reading and has a lead on “sweet”/edible acorns, I’m after them!

I got about 18 seeds to grow from Perfect Circle this last year. If they all make it through winter I can send you a couple in spring. If you don’t find any by then.

I might could scratch up a white oak acorn or three…but could have gotten a gallon 45 days ago before the bushy tail rats got 'em.

If anyone is interested, I came across this: Hazelnut Seeds For Sale | Prairie Plum Farm

Prices are a little high, but the owner is one the co-authors of the hazelnut book Badgersett wrote and has top genetics. I ordered some, should be here next week.

Rhora Nursery carried a sweet oak hybrid’s seedlings. Hazelnuts, also.
