At around this time of year I start to notice Beech mast in the
woods, and nuts on the Hazel.

Walking the dogs the other day I realise there was nothing like it
about. Now the Beech are in an avenue of very tall trees, so not much
chance of detailed inspection there, but the Hazel is everywhere, and
a variety of conditions, juvenile, pollarded, standard, damaged
standard with low re-growth.

I didn't see a single hazel nut on the way home, and I checked every
tree.

Has anyone else noticed this? Was it the spring? or the wet
conditions (I can't see it being the wet summer)


Noticed some nuts last week on a tree on our allotment site, never noticed
them before. However we have had a very dry summer here and it's only the
last couple of months when it's rained at all.
