Kent cob nuts

I have seen those on my young tree. What can one do with them? Thanks!

share and share alike lol

The squirrels don,t share Eileen , they usually take the lot , I was determined to have a few this year ...LOL...

Wow Amy! Are they hazel nuts?

They are kent cob nuts Dawn , a lovely nut , I bought this about 3 yrs ago , usually I,m to late collecting any as the squirrels get in first , I knew they were ready as soon as I saw all the empty shells under the tree , I managed to save some this time , I have some hazel nuts in the hedgerow they had those ages ago , they must mature earlier ... ..:o)

Wonderful.......what will you do with them Amy??

I will save them for the grandchildren when they come at the weekend Janey , they will enjoy cracking them :o)

Thanks for explaining Amy, they look similar to hazel nuts, dont they. Your grandchildren will have a lovely time eating your peaches and nuts etc.
So do they taste similar to hazel nuts.

Like Dawn...I haven't heard of them before Amy, they look quite large, similar to Hazelnut or Filbert?

They are more like the Filbert nut Dawn /Janey they are bigger and crunchier . and a lovely nutty taste ... .. :o)

May have to get a tree/plant Amy, lol.

You have the room Dawn , it,s nice to have one since we lost our Walnut tree ... the baby walnut is growing but it will be years before it has any nuts .. You do have to outwit the squirrels to have your share ..LOL..

I'll look into getting one Amy - so is the tree called a Kent Cob Nut?
Our walnut tree seems OK this year, its been in now about 7 years and still no signs of nuts.
As regards squirrels, well ... I'm a bit upset as I found 2 dead ones on our woodland paths last week - I think someone is shooting them and they've come to mine to die :-((((

MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm Yummi Nuts :) Hi Dawn :)

Oh Dawn that is upsetting .. .. I worry about that as I know there are people out there with guns shooting at rabbits , but they don,t care what they hit ... it,s sad .. ..

Yes it,s a kent cob nut tree ....

Hi Jacque :o)

OOOOoooooooo No Poor Squirrels Dawn :( I know what id do if i caught m shooting Animals Amy/Dawn :/

Hi Jacque - hope you're OK.
I know .. poor squirrels - I'm going to buy the ones that are left a pellet gun to get revenge.
Thanks Amy, I'll put Kent Cob Nut Tree on my wish list.

:) Think they need more than a pellet Dawn lol :) How about a Cannon Ball ? :)

Good plan Jacque. I'm not happy about it, poor little mites.

:( it is awful how sum people treat wild life isnt it :(

I know Jacque, like you, I'm doing all I can for the wildlife and a few yards away someone is undoing my hard work. :-(

:(

We have a twisted hazel that has nuts on so should we be picking them off now while they are still green?

You should leave them until they are turning brown really Lindak but we never can because the squirrels have them first , these have a decent sized nut in , the grandchidren are eating them :o)

Thanks Amy I shall have to keep watch as they have the squirrels taking their nuts across the road.
