Here is the harvest from 2016, see image below. The large nuts seem to have quite a few empties but we shall see (sometimes those have to dry out before you can tell if those have anything in). Some of those are just huge (some of the large hazels have kernels inside for sure), it will be interesting to see what the actual nut size is when we open those up. There are probably about 7 varieties of hazelnuts represented here. There are still quite a few large nuts on the one bush that haven't been harvested yet - those were still green (mid Oct). It was interesting to see that BlueJays had discovered those and were marauding.
