One Hazel Kentish Cobnut seedling grown by us, from seed in a 100% organic environment.

Corylus Avellana produces the extremely popular hazelnut! This variety produces the larger, more revered variety of Hazel, commonly known as the Kentish Cobnut or Filbert. A rare variety that is usually found along the south coast.  

Generally grown as a shrub or bush, Corylus can be used as a productive hedgerow with an individual tree producing hundreds of tasty hazelnuts after just a few years.  Corylus produces both male and female flowers/catkins on the same tree but generally require another hazel around for nut production. 

Perfectly UK hardy, can be pot grown but will be more productive if grown in the ground. We recommend our seedlings are grown on in large pots for 1 more season before planting in their final and permanent spot.  

Grows fairly quickly and easy to care for, requiring light to moderate watering during prolonged periods of dry weather.  Tolerant of many soil types, including clay soil. 

A functional and attractive bush that is also beneficial to local wildlife and pollinators.
