    Not a great photo but here it is @Guernsey Donkey2. Plus more nuts I found while taking it. I have let it do it's own thing( except taking off a couple of strait stems appearing from the base) as not sure how to train it.

    I shall have to google it P. as I don't know anything about Hazel nut trees - although I think it looks quite healthy.  Have your eaten them yet?

    Have tried a bit of one, but have to be careful of nuts as I'm prone to reactions not always but unexpectedly. Did have a slight numbness in the mouth so won't be eating them, will give them to hubby @Guernsey Donkey2. Very mild taste, will have to try roasting them for him.

    There is alot of new growth under the leaves and even male flowers ready for next year's female flowers in March.

    Just part of our harvest of Boskoop Glory grapes being turned into Grape & Rosemary Jelly  :D

    Looks good @Guernsey Donkey2 Are they eaters too. Wish I had room/ weather for grapes, but my garden is too enclosed to grow them.

    It's me ... not GD  ;)   Yes, they're lovely and sweet ... but they do have pips.  We eat some and I make jelly from some.

    Just eating my first apple from my three year old tree. Crisp and not too sweet. Lovely . Not many on tree but worth it.
