If I can, I may well move it to a smaller pot. Is there an

said, I'm no gardener...

As it's a hazel (cobs are a selected variety of hazel), it's deciduous
and will go dormant over the winter if left outside, after it's
dropped its leaves.

You should be able to re-pot it any time after that, before it comes
back to life again in the spring.

Excellent, thanks very much for that Chris. Do you have any advice about
what I might do in the meantime to nurse her back to health?
