Thompson & Morgan Cobnut (Filbert) Kentish Cob 1 Bare Root Tree
Description
Hazelnut ‘Kentish Cob’ is probably the best-known UK variety and easiest to grow in the garden. This attractive, bushy tree produces a mass of yellow-green catkins in the early spring followed by a heavy crop of cobnuts in from September. Cobnut ‘Kentish Cob’ is self-fertile and therefore does not require a pollination companion. Hazels will begin to produce nuts three to four years after planting. Please note, fruit trees will be dispatched as early as possible, once they have gone dormant and are in the ideal condition for lifting from the nursery and for transplanting by our customers. When growing cobnuts, choose a sheltered position on moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soil in sun or semi shade. Prior to planting Hazelnut trees, incorporate plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. Plant cobnut trees at the same soil level as they were growing at the nursery, and water well to settle the soil. Nut trees do not suffer weed competition well, so keep weeds and grass clear from within a 30cm radius of the base of the tree. Water young trees during particularly dry periods until fully established. In spring, apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the tree. This will help to retain moisture throughout the summer. Hazelnuts are usually grown as open centred bushes on a short main stem of about 45cm (18in). Supplied as a bare root tree.
