A Cobnut is a cultivated variety of hazelnut, just as a Cox is a cultivated variety of apple.
The Kentish Cobnuts Association was established in 1990, with the aims of regenerating the industry, promoting cobnuts and representing its members. Membership currently stands at 150. It runs courses on pruning and orchard management, produces a newsletter about three times a year, and holds events such as the annual Nutters Supper. The Association had produced an Information Pack on cultivation of cobnuts, price £4 and a booklet on pruning, price £5, which can be downloaded from the Publications tab.
