Janus   28 #1 Posted August 6, 2019 I'm trying to find out what tree these seed pods are from. The coins for scale are 1p & 5p.  The pods are at various stages having dropped at various times.https://ibb.co/7CDRKj1  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Chez2   10 #2 Posted August 6, 2019 They look like hazelnut or closely related cobnut to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Thorpist   72 #3 Posted August 7, 2019 Agree Hazelnuts. The ones with the holes are probably where squirrels have eaten the nut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Janus   28 #4 Posted August 8, 2019 I have broken a few open but so far they appear to be empty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Janus   28 #5 Posted August 9, 2019 I've just cracked open 3 pods that had no holes or breakage. They were empty too. All the pods in the original post were gathered from the ground. They probably fell prematurely before the seeds/nuts had developed.https://ibb.co/Jp8SWy0https://ibb.co/CPMNWj7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Goldhead   10 #6 Posted August 10, 2019 Definitely hazelnuts. It seems to be a good year for them - although I haven't checked the contents! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Janus   28 #7 Posted August 15, 2019 Sometimes trees have a bumper year of their seed/fruit and the following year virtually nothing. I`ve noticed that with my apple tree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Janus   28 #9 Posted August 17, 2019 That's right. They have fallen from the tree before developing fully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Refugee   0 #10 Posted February 21, 2020 They are most certainly hazel nuts. The fruits with kernels in them ripen in September and keep until Christmas. They are nice tasty organic nuts. There is enough growing wild around here for me not to bother growing any.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
