Description
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 surrounded by broad, deep green leaves in abundance. In the Spring the catkins on the bush are really funny to see.
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.
Kentish Cob can be grown on it's own in a bush shape or can be a lovely addition to a native 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.
