Do you know the difference between a Kentish cobnut and a filbert? Have you ever wondered how to manage your hazel tree for nut production? In this film by Quentin Clark of Silk Purse Videos, we learn about the annual process of hazel nut production, from coppicing, to harvesting, processing and sorting. Whether you want to grow a hazel tree in your garden, looking to restore or bring into production an established tree, or considering a commercial nut growing venture, this film covers every aspect. We meet Pauline MacBrayne (growing hazel nuts in her garden), Margaret Finch of Farley Hill Place Gardens with established filbert production, and commercial growers of Kentish cobnuts Barney and Daniel from Allens Farm.
