Anyone have any wise words on these?
I had one in London which did really well. You could give it a good
shake
and the nuts would cover the ground.
Now I'm in Wisbech, I planted 3 different varieties (labels have all
faded
of course) 4 years ago and they're not keen. Still very short and
straggly
and no signs of catkins up to last season. Do they need any special
attention?


Am guessing they're not liking the soil conditions.


I'd guess the same- and they might be too dry. Maybe try mulching with
garden compost or something similar this year.
