They look like Hazels, thanks to Squirrel Nutkin & his mates

I once spent a few years nurturing one in the mistaken belief it was a Kiwi I'd planted. SN had oiked my Kiwi out & stuck a hazel nut in there "for later"

They are definitely Hazel and not necessarily hidden by the squirrels. We have mice which hide so many of them in flowerpots that it seems that every empty pot has a Hazel growing in it. Beautiful, useful native shrub or tree. It can become very large, but is easily pollarded.

Thanks Honeysuckle.

Actually if you have space [ I don't] having them growing would be handy for ready supply of twigs / sticks for peas & beans

My daughter has some in her garden, but never gets to eat any nuts because the squirrels are there first
