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)



Baz climate change means far more things alter, than the frequency of your house getting flooded!

Its astounding that those responsible have been able to generate such effective propaganda on this subject, that it seems very clear very few people understand the true facts.
