Ok, thats interesting to know, of all the stuff i've grown, i've found
hazelnuts the hardest to find information on!

So any ideas on suppliers? Will you get some sort of small crop in the
first couple of years?


IIRC, the hazelnut or cobnut is corylus avellana. The filbert is corylus
maxima. As far as I know they both taste about the same but on the filbert
the bit around the nut covers it completely. I;ve got corylus maxima
purpurea which is very attractive as a small tree when the sun shines
through the leaves but my harvest has been poor so far in the first two
years. The nuts taste very nice if you harvest them early.
