Has anyone tried growing these? Is it right you have to have two plants, if so any ideas as to which variety/ies to have? Wife loves them at Christmas, so might be worth a go, especially as I don't appear to have any squirrels around to nick them!!  Keith |

I planted three about 10 years ago and they are just starting to fruit well. You can't imagine the thrill I got last Autumn picking my own nuts. Coo! I bought mine from Buckingham Nurseries I think. I dunno about the number you need - I just got the number I had room for. And no idea which variety either but they're yummy! I planted a purple nut too at the same time and that has been much slower to grow and hasn't fruited yet. Well, I'm being very helpful, aren't I??  |

Thanks, folks. 15ft apart! Do they really have to be as far apart as this? Still maybe alright though.

Have a look here Keith www.buckingham-nurseries.co.uk. In the Fruit section it has several Hazels. Btw my best fruiting trees aren't 15 ft apart, more like 5ft! They need coppicing this year though.. |

Thanks 4P. I will see if we stay here and if so, maybe give them a go. The worry is how long it takes for them to fruit.
