It is time
Time to harvest the cobnuts. I’ve posted about Kent cobnuts before. I am fond.
Last year was the most prolific year for this tree that I can recall. We harvested, like, three sacks of nuts. Naturally, we ate a fraction of them. Knowing nuts, they’re probably still good.
This year, very few branches were productive, but those branches were very productive. They have to be pollinated by another cobnut, but we have one around the side of the house (that has never been prolific) and our neighbor has one. Go figure.
It’ll probably be just right.

I had to look this up. Apparently a cob nut is either the same as or a kissin cousin to a hazelnut.

They look like hazelnuts.
