Cobnuts and filberts should start to produce nuts after three or four years. They should be harvested when the husks begin to turn yellow around late September.
Can you eat Cobnuts straight from the tree?
Kent Cobnuts can be eaten straight from the tree and are traditionally eaten this way. However, they must be picked at the correct time as the nut kernel will otherwise be underdeveloped. Cobnuts are usually ready for picking in September. You will need to get there before the squirrels!
What is the season for Cobnuts?
Cobnuts are seasonal, and are sold fresh, not dried like most other nuts. They can usually only be bought from about the middle of August through to October. Stored nuts may be available from selected larger outlets through to Christmas.
