Hazel is a multi purpose champion of a plant that is super easy to grow, produces delicious nuts, pliable wood that can be crafted into a variety of products, provides early fodder for bees and an encouraging spectacle when flowering during the mid winter. What more can I say.... a plant so good people started naming their daughters after it. Hazel - Corylus spp,  When we speak of Hazel  we are generally referring to two species,  Corylus avellana and Corylus maxima. The two species produce slightly different shape nuts and take different growth forms.  Corylus avellana produce Hazelnuts and Corylus maxima produce Filberts.

This post we will focus solely on these popular nut producing species. The leafy bracts that envelope the nuts are the easiest way of telling the species apart....

We had a perfect spring in many ways, bright and warm with rainfall just when it was needed. The summer has started off equally well and the fruits are filling the canopies while the vegetable garden is yielding well. This month we said goodbye to Gabrielle Landi who has been absolutely amazing, thanks so much for all of your help and support, we hope you come back soon. Gabriele Landi We also said goodbye to Chris Mallorie, Abi Ryder and their son Ed who stayed with us for a month during their European Permaculture tour. Happy travels guys and thanks for everything. We're pleased to welcome Wil Kunkle from the US of A to the study who I think actually may be Jared Leto secretly escaping Hollywood for a few months. Chris Kirby Lambert also joined us for his second biodiversity survey of the year and we're looking forward to see him again in August for the final survey of 2017. Special thanks to film makers Simon Rogowski from  www.inspiria.de  and David Pavlašević  ...
