Hi,
On our allotment we have a double row of about 12 nut trees. That is quite exciting and we did get some nuts this year. I'm not sure what they are - either cobnuts or filberts. The nuts were very small.
I'd like a better crop next year - does anyone know how to go about it?
One thing that strikes me as a bit silly is that the trees are only a foot apart. Should I thin them out? And if so, how would I do it (surely chopping down would just have the effect of coppicing - and digging up would upset neighbouring trees.)
Should they be cut back, mulched, beaten, broken?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sarah
