hazel nuts
Hi. I put 3 hazel nut plants in the garden when I moved here (rustic
Cambridgeshire) 8 years ago and am a tad peeved to have had nothing from them. I had one scrunched up in a corner of the garden in London which was quite prolific. Anyone know is there something I should be doing to encourage them for this year? Thanks |

Have you had any catkins yet? -- Kay |

Are they in shade, by any chance? They won't flower if so. If not, 8 years isn't atypical. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Surprised to learn 8 yrs not atypical, presumably this is my pension pot then! I think I vaguely recall catkins one year but nothing came of them. I wondered if they need horse poo or lime or some other exotic goody? |

Thanks I planted a pair of hazel trees 12yrs ago. The trees are doing fine and look healthy. In addition I have a hazel hedge but alas, although they flower and produce catkins I have never had a single nut from either of them :-( Cheers, Compo in Caithness |

Do not forget hazels need to be cross pollenated from a different
hazel gene pool, even thou they are suposedly self fertile, and they are wind pollenated. In my experience hazels can flower and produce from about 4 years. |
