- This variety of hazelnut is a cobnut, prized for its delightful taste and shorter husk.
- A visually appealing and fast-growing tree, it yields an abundance of large, oval cobnuts in late September and October.
- Features fragrant leaves and bright yellow catkins during the summer months, adding year-round interest.
- Ideal for wildlife-friendly gardens, attracting bees, butterflies, and other essential pollinators.
- Fully hardy and drought-tolerant once established, making it a reliable choice for UK gardens.
- Cobnuts are delicious fresh from the tree or can be used in baking and desserts for a creamy, nutty flavour.
- Reaches up to 4x4 metres but can be easily pruned to suit any garden space.
- Your tree is expertly pruned before shipping to encourage a strong, bushy shape and robust growth.
