About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A proven English variety (originally 'Webb's Prize Cob') known for heavy and regular yields. It bears large, elongated nuts in strikingly long husks and ripens towards the end of September. Its growth stays more moderate than that of many giant nut varieties, which makes it interesting for smaller gardens too. Wind pollinated like all hazels, it needs a second variety for fertilisation, for example ‚Hallesche Riesennuss'.
The kernel fills the shell well and tastes full, spicy and nutty, ideal for snacking and for baking.
