we are clearing a large area of our copse (mostly smothered in laurel) and we want to plant a number of different nut trees - filbert, cobb and maybe pekan

 

i have done an internet search and contacted a few nurseries for brochure - but wondered if anybody on here had a good contact

cheers for the contacts - i shall have a look at them all

 

What sort of size / form / numbers / varieties are you looking for?

 

depends on cost really - probably 50 or so mixed nuts - we want a good nut crop (not just hazel for wood)

 

i expect them to be bare-rooted and will take them at any size (we are not in a hurry for first crop of nuts)

I would recommend the Agroforestry research Trust Agroforestry research trust fruits nuts seeds plants publications

 

They could give you expert advice on species/varieties for your location and soil type, plus sell you the trees

If your in Hampshire then try the Hilliers Nursey as its local.

Ashridge trees Buy Hedging, Hedge Plants, Fruit Trees, Soft Fruit, Roses, do a good service, used them before for fruit/nut trees etc
