Our Feedback
Hi Serena
Just to let you know that my plants have arrived and to thank you for taking such care with them - they were so well packed and are in such good condition. I am very impressed because I have bought plants online in the past and they were nowhere near as well packed - or as well grown!
Kind regards
Suzanne Manning, Eyemouth
Filbert Tree 'Kentish Cob'
Corylus maxima 'Kentish Cob'
- The traditional Kentish Cobnut is actually a Filbert!
- Probably the best flavoured of all the hazels.
- Large flattened nuts are produced in profusion.
- Vigorous in habit and heavy cropping.
Supplied as a containerised tree pruned to approximately 2 - 3 feet (60 - 90 cm) tall including pot.
Available from approximately mid June 2013.1 or more £8.95 each. Group & quantity discounts
The true 'native' filbert or cobnut of Kent - and, in our opinion still the best flavoured. The large nuts are long and slightly flattened in shape and carried in generous clusters.
Picked and eaten green their flavour is truly sublime - or for a real treat make cobnut pesto! Left to ripen, their sweetness really comes into its own - making for a lovely addition to the nut bowl or cakes and pastries.
- Vigorous in habit and heavy cropping.
- Whilst this variety can be grown as a single tree they are best grown in groups. Consider growing them as hedge or shelter belt to your veg plot; and don't forget the 'prunings' will provide a valuable source of hazel poles and supports for the veg garden.
- For use as a hedging plant, plant 3 feet (90 cm) apart.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
