Description

This early variety of Filbert has the somewhat confusing name of Nottingham Cobnut, which is why it is so often described as a Cobnut. In reality there is little difference between a Cobnut and Filbert! Produces pale yellow catkins.

A popular commercial variety that produces large, richly flavoured hazelnuts early in the season.

• Very heavy bearing and reliable.
• Harvest approximately late September.
• Vigorous in habit.
• Likes a full sun or partial shade position.
• Needs free draining soil.
• 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.
