Kentish Cob (Corylus 'Kentish Cob') is the traditional cob and is planted extensively in Kent to this day and is unique for its history and cultural heritage within Kent. There is an enthusiastic following amongst its growers who are members of the Kentish Cobnut Association www.kentishcobnutsassociation.co.uk. It is a species of its own and is not technically a hazel. Medium to large nuts in clusters of two to five fruits of excellent texture and flavour. Compact tree habit. Can be slightly biennial but excellent quality.
Kentish cob is not grown on a rootstock like most other trees.
We will include a message card included at no additional cost if required.
Item out of stock or want to try something similar then buy a Trazel tree.
General Hazelnut information
No Hazelnut tree is guaranteed self-fertile (will produce fruit without the need of pollen from another Hazelnut tree) but native hedging (almost all countryside hedges) containing Corylus Avellana (opens new window) will pollinate your chosen Hazelnut. So if hedging around your area contains the shape of leaf shown in the link then your tree will be pollinated by the wind. If you have any doubt and particularly want a heavy crop, purchase a second Hazelnut tree of a different species or a Trazel tree and plant in the same garden.
Webbs and Gunslebert are known for pollinating well without a very close pollination partner.
Trouble Choosing
Cannot decide which fruit tree? Take a look at our TOP SELLING FRUIT TREES
Wet Ground
If you have wet conditions then choose a PEAR TREE first, followed by APPLE TREES. They don't prefer it but will tolerate water, H2O or liquid better, depending which one you have most of!
General Fruit Tree Life Expectancy
Most fruit trees will give you AT LEAST 40 years of fruit. Pears can go to 70. Records of 200 year old trees exist but this is the exception, not the rule.
