500g – 3Kg: Dehusked Gunslebert Cobnuts
£7.99 – £38.00
Tasty Dehusked Gunslebert Cobnuts
Our Dehusked Gunslebert Cobnuts are now available. The Gunslebert is a variety of hazelnut that has a unique and enjoyable flavour. As a nut the Gunslebert is more rounded than the Kent Cob and when green has a frilly husk. As a nut they can be eaten fresh or used in dishes.
Dehusked cobnuts should be kept cool to prevent the kernel (nut) drying. A salad draw is an ideal place for storage.

Kent Cobnut Trees
Kent Cobnut Trees – Now Dispatching
They are available to collect by appointment or delivery. They are bare root and will be without a pot. These trees have been propagated on our own heritage Kent Cobnut trees some of which are 100 years old. This was featured on Marcus Wareing’s tales from the Kitchen garden. These are whips / clones from the heritage mother trees and so should be ideal for producing the Kent Cob variety.
Many garden centres currently sell seedling trees and these usually yield very few cobnuts. These trees are the same trees that we grow on the farm and if properly maintained should produce a good crop of Kent Cobnuts.
They are suitable for planting most places in the UK. Two varieties are deemed preferable for pollination but not essential as common hedge row nut can assist with pollination. We cannot guarantee the size of the trees selected for delivery but every care is taken to select a good tree.
Cobnuts are packed full of vitamins, minerals and fibre. In winter the catkins on the trees brighten up the trees.
We can offer paid for consultation for large field plantings and management. Please email us if you want more than 10 trees.
All trees are different. Their roots, branches, shape vary. So images are only an indication of what the tree will look like.
We advise watering and planting promptly into the ground (if not saturated) or into a large pot for later planting if required. The pot should have room to allow further root growth. The tree will need a healthy watering over the first few days.
If planting make sure that the root ball is level and not at an angle. Water regularly and monitor. Do avoid planting if the ground is totally saturated and wait until drier, perhaps store in a pot during this time. You may need to purchase or make a tree guard ifor protection in the first 4 years.
The aim after this point will be to manage the growth of branches. These should be allowed to form at least 60cm from the ground. As we are now offering 2ft-3ft (61cm-91cm) whips we have begun this for you.

History:
‘Green Gages’ were named after Sir William Gage, 7th Baronet, they were first imported by Sir William into Britain in 1724 and became established as a luxury fruit. Greengages were later established in the newly independent USA and grown by George Washington. A significant number of cultivars have been established in the UK ranging from Cambridge Gage to Laxton’s Supreme.

500g – 3Kg: Dehusked Mixed Cobnuts
Dehusked Mixed Variety Cobnuts – In Stock
Our main cobnut varieties are Kent, Gunslebert, Ennis and Butler but we actually have over 50 different cobnut varieties in our National Collection. Some varieties will come from a single tree while others may be from a row or small block.
We are delighted to now offer the opportunity for a completely mixed bag. No order will be the same and the cobnuts will be very different to each other (some nuts will be very small, some will have more felt / skin around the kernel). We recommend these for those passionate about cobnuts, keen to taste a range of flavours and tastes. If you are new to cobnuts we really recommend trying our main varieties first.
Dehusked cobnuts should be kept cool to prevent the kernel (the bit you eat) excessively drying. A salad draw is an ideal place for storage. These mixed varieties have mixed moisture content so some will be quite dry with smaller kernels while others will be more milky. This is in part because small varieties don’t have much moisture originally and so can be a lot drier (but sometimes also sweeter). Our mixed cobnuts are available in weights ranging from 500g to 3kg.

Cobnuts have a nationally recognised nutritional profile and are said to be fantastic sources of protein:
Cobnut kernels typically contain 12%-17% protein by dry weight, and about 10%-15% fibre. Cobnuts are very rich in vitamin E and in calcium, typically containing about 21mg and 141mg per 100g kernel (dry weight) respectively. They provide about 0.4mg and 0.55mg of vitamins B1 and B6 respectively per 100g dry weight.
Our gift bags are available in bag of 500g or 1kg. The bags are perfectly reusable and are made from jute, with a drawstring that seals the bag.

3kg, 20Kg – 140kg: Red Squirrel Cobnuts
Red Squirrel Cobnut Mix / Squirrel Feed – Currently Dispatching: 2023 Dehusked stock. Dispatching Husked 2024 Stock
Roughway Farm has supplied cobnuts for Red Squirrel conservation projects across the UK for over 50 years. From Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands our cobs have been enjoyed by our native squirrels.
Our red squirrel cobnuts are mixed cobnut varieties that are suited for squirrel consumption. Our squirrel nuts vary in terms of size and appearance. Our squirrel nuts are all grown in Kent and are certainly enjoyed by the squirrels!
We currently sell a range of weights from smaller packets for home use in gardens to larger bulk quantities in 20kg boxes. Please note we now place all sack orders in boxes due to a request from our courier. If you want a larger order please email and we are happy to organise.
Our Squirrel Cobnuts are harvested between September and October each year.
Please keep in mind that our cobs are kept cool to keep the kernels in good condition. This means that husked nuts in particular can be a little damp late season (Late Nov- March) and so should be allowed to air on arrival. The dehusked nuts by December and into the new year are generally drier and are preferred by some customers for handling and appearance. The squirrels however are happy with both.
If you want British sourced Squirrel food then we recommend buying from Roughway.
—————————————————————————————
This product is not extensively sorted to keep costs low. These nuts are not recommended for human consumption due to storage and the ranging quality and size.
For orders of over 140kg we recommend emailing store@roughwayfarm.co.uk
