Planting & Care

This popular hazelnut is a filbert, also known as 'Nottingham Early'.
A vigorous, hardy, and dependable tree that fruits early in the season.
Produces abundant crops of large, richly flavoured nuts, ready for harvest in September.
Filberts are round, medium-sized nuts with a smooth, hard shell and a delicious taste, distinguished from cobnuts by their larger husks.
Its neat, tidy shape is perfect for gardens of any size, and it can be used as a standalone tree or to create screens and hedges.
Native to the UK, this tree is a wonderful addition for supporting local wildlife.
A favoured variety for commercial growing, proving its reliability and crop quality.
Your tree is professionally pruned before dispatch to encourage a strong, bushy shape.

Species: Hazelnut
Features: Native to UK, Partially Self Fertile, Wildlife Benefactor
Flowering Time: March, April, May
Harvest Time: September, October, November
Flowers: Large yellow catkins
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Eventual Spread: Spreads up to 4m unless pruned
Habit: Grows with a neat bushy habit
Hardiness: Fully hardy
Pest & Disease Resistance: Generally pest and disease free
Soil: Prefers well-drained, loamy soils but will tolerate less than perfect conditions.
Taste: Large and richly flavoured
Pollination: Partially self-fertile. It will produce a crop on its own, but yield is improved with a pollination partner. Any other hazelnut, filbert, or cobnut will act as a suitable pollinator, including the native hazel ‘Corylus avellana’.
Uses: Eating, cooking

Planting: Thrives in a protected location in full sun or partial shade. If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit when planting to improve drainage.
Pruning: Prune annually in mid to late February to maintain the tree's shape and encourage good cropping.
Frost Protection: The tree is fully hardy. However, late frosts can damage the blossom. If frost is forecast while the tree is in flower, protect it overnight with horticultural fleece.

Product Specifications
