A Cobnut is a cultivated variety of hazelnut, just as a Cox is a cultivated variety of apple.
The Kentish Cobnuts Association is a National Membership association tasked with Promoting and Conserving British Hazelnuts. We were established in 1990, with the aims of regenerating the industry, promoting Kentish Cobnuts and British Hazelnuts. We are proud to represent our national membership from across the UK and further afield. We help with the marketing of cobnuts and British hazelnuts and lobby government when necessary. Membership currently stands at 170. We run courses on pruning and orchard management, produce a newsletter about three times a year, and hold field days and events such as the annual Nutters Supper. The Association has 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.
