120 potential Cobnut Trees and I am truly excited about this!!! Last Year I grew Chestnuts and this year again I have put in more chestnuts but I also wanted to add another nut each year. Yes I experimented with Pistachios last year and I have 3 of them but this years main nut will be the humble and incredibly rare Cobnut. . . I shall be popping half of these outside immediately and half of them in the fridge for 2 weeks first just to test out different stratifying methods as I am a bit behind I should really have popped these in around November. . . Our last frost date though is May 10th so honestly they should be fine I just want to experiment and see what happens. . . If you want to follow the cobnuts journey subscribe to my YouTube channel where I will document how they go. Link is in the bio. . . #thebloopixie #cobnuts #nutfarm #raretrees #nativetrees #edibletrees #gardenersofinstagram #gardeners #nuts #kitchengarden https://www.instagram.com/thebloopixie/p/CYa8RcGKOi9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Cobnuts!! 50kg - with lots more to come - hand-picked yesterday, fresh from our orchard by kind and willing friends. If you can’t resist eating a good nut (cobnuts are hazelnuts so great raw, roasted, in cakes, salads etc etc) you know where we are - get in touch!!
