Cobnuts and Filberts
Cobnuts are a cultivated variety of hazelnut. Cultivated hazelnuts, sometimes
known as filberts, have been grown in gardens and orchards since at least the
16th century.
Cobnut trees are hardy and grow well on a wide range of soils except those
that are waterlogged. Grow in moderately fertile, moist, well-drained neutral to
slightly alkaline soils, they will also grow well in acid soils.
Varieties
Cobnuts are available in 7 litre containers all-year-round.
