Description

As the name suggests this cob nut is traditionally planted in Kent. The medium/large nuts are borne in clusters of up to 5 and are of excellent texture and flavour. The nuts can be eaten green or stored, whilst the catkins provide good winter interest. 'Kent Cob' requires a pollinator to set a good crop. Any other hazelnut variety, filbert or cob will suffice, even the native 'Corylus avellana' often found in hedgerows will act as a good pollinator.

Most well drained soils will suit and 'Kent Cob' can tolerate some shade and exposure. This Cobnut tree has a compact habit, growing to 3 x 3 metres in 20 years.

AKA Corylus maxima 'Kentish Cob', Hazel 'Kentish Cob', Cobnut 'Kentish Cob'

Planting Steps

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
