In the paper, it is presented, taking into account the agro-climatic indicator of the mountain front zone, we chose such a culture that would correspond to the agroecological conditions there, would be high-yielding and profitable. As such culture, we selected "Kharistvala" nut variety introduced for production in Georgia (in particular in Samegralo). At the foot of Lechkhumi mountain at 1000-1100m above sea level. The researches were conducted for the first time at Zemo Lukhvano (Lechkhumi) test base of the agricultural cooperative "Sozalia" on different exposed soils. Growth and development proceeded normally, despite the fact that the climate is harsher in front of Lechkhumi mountain than in Samegrelo (50-60 meters above sea level), we did not use fertilizers and herbicides, we received ecologically clean raw materials. Studies have shown that under favorable conditions of growth and development, hazelnuts in the mentioned region provide quite abundant quality products.
