- Large flattened nuts are produced in profusion.
- Vigorous in habit and heavy cropping.

Available from APPROXIMATELY late November / early December 20201 or more £17.95GBP each. Group & quantity discounts
Currently Not Available to Buy
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.
- Wind pollinated.
- Self Sterile.
