Description
- This variety is a cobnut (a type of hazelnut).
- An attractive, fast-growing tree that produces heavy crops of large, oval cobnuts in late September and October.
- Scented foliage and bright yellow catkins in summer.
- A perfect tree for wildlife friendly gardens, attracting bees, butterflies and other pollinators to your garden.
- Fully hardy and tolerant of drought once established.
- Grow in full sun on a south- or west-facing wall.
- Grows to 4 x 4m but can be pruned to fit any size of garden.
- Cobnuts can be eaten straight from the tree or used in baking and desserts.
- Cobnuts, filberts, and other kinds of hazelnuts are all in the hazel genus Corylus. Cobnuts can be distinguished from filberts by their shorter husks, but the main thing you need to know is that they’re absolutely delicious!
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.
