Why Kentish Cobnut?
The Kentish cobnut is a traditional British hazelnut variety, prized for its sweet, flavoursome nuts. Unlike wild hazels, cobnuts are selected for larger nut size and reliability. They produce attractive yellow catkins in late winter—an essential early food source for bumblebees.
Why Walnut?
Walnut trees provide high-value timber, beautiful shade, and abundant autumn nuts. They support over 30 insect species and are a magnificent long-term addition to any community space.
