and nothing has it beared....
It is a Kentish Cob, from a purchased sapling some 7 years ago, in a pot for a year, then into the ground when we moved from Kent to Essex in 2000. It is in dappled shade in a border where everything thrives. It is multi stemmed rather than a single trunk. Never a nut! Apart from continue to shower it with love and affection in the form of well rotted compost, what can or should I do to make it go nutty? Or am I being impatient?? Do cobnuts take years and years before they finally go nutty?

It needs a pollinator (of a different variety). They need a bit of help, too. It's recommended that you prune in early March in order to shake the pollen off the catkins.
EJ - Posted this recently which might help:
...was advised to grow two different types to get more nuts - and I do get a lot. The names of the ones I grow are: Kentish Cob 'Lamberts Filbert' which are a longish oval shaped nut, and Kentish Cob 'Cosford' which is more rounded.
