hazelnuts, chestnuts, or?? [View all]

looking at next years planting, and want to grow some nuts. don't want a huge tree. i think some of the hybrid chestnuts are a little easier to dwarf, but not sure.
hazel bushes would be fine, and that is where we are leaning. plus i love hazels. but skinning and all is labor, and that will be a factor.
think i might xpost this in cooking, but will get a little feedback first.
