This Product is Available Now.

Supplied as a bare root tree pruned to approximately 4 - 5 feet (1.2 - 1.5 metres) tall including roots.

 

 

Large nuts with a gorgeous sweet flavour whether eaten green (chopped into salads they are gorgeous) or allowed to ripen.

Very heavy bearing.

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.

Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.

Top Tips For Growing Cobnuts

  • Cobnut trees actually need no attention at all and they will still produce a good crop of nuts every year. The trouble is that without pruning they will grow up to 20 feet (6.1 metres) in height making picking of the fresh green nuts impossible and the only way of harvesting will be to wait until fully ripe and then shake the tree.
  • Traditionally cobnuts are kept at around 7 feet (2.1 metres) tall as a single stem or multi-stem bush.
  • Between November and mid April simply remove anything that is dead, diseased or damaged, and any unwanted suckers at the base before thinning the top growth to allow good circulation of air (you should have 6-8 main framework branches) - and of course trim down to around 5 - 7 feet (1.5 - 2.1 metres).

Supplied as a bare root tree pruned to approximately 4 - 5 feet (1.2 - 1.5 metres) tall including roots.
