Fruit - Nut Trees
Cobnuts and filberts grow well in Ireland, producing bigger nuts than our native Hazel. We also occasionally stock more unusual nuts like almonds, sweet chestnut, and European chestnut.
Learn more about how to choose and grow hazelnuts and other nuts in our advice section and on our resources page.
Bareroot nut trees | December to March
Most of our nut trees are sold in bareroot form from December to March. You can learn more about the differences between bareroot and potted plants in our advice section.
Potted nut trees | all year round
Potted nut trees are available at different times throughout the rest of the year, but the best selection, and the best time to plant, is in spring (April to June). Outside of these times our selection is more limited.
