The distribution of 17 quantitative traits was studied in 35 hazelnut (Corylus avellana) progenies. The results for 10 traits in 20 progenies are presented as histograms. Continuous distributions were observed for 15 of the 17 traits. Most approximated normal distributions, except number of nuts per cluster, which was skewed toward lower values.
