Gunslebert Cobnut Trees

Potted Gunslebert Cobnut Trees – Out of Stock
We now have a number of Gunslebert Cobnut trees available in 7 Litre pots – We are out of 3 litre Gunslebert Cobnut trees. These trees are on British grown roots and are suitable for planting most places in the UK.
These are ideal for planting and producing high yielding trees. Many garden centers 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.
Cobnuts are packed full of vitamins, minerals and fibre. In winter the catkins on the trees brighten up the trees.
Two varieties are deemed preferable for pollination but not essential as common hedge row nut can assist with pollination.
The trees do vary in size and shape but are generally between 30cm and a meter. We cannot guarantee the size of the trees selected for delivery but every care is taken to select a good tree.
On Arrival:
We advise watering the pot and planting promptly into the ground 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 dig a hole twice the size of the pot and tease out the roots.Make sue that the root ball is level and not at an angle. Water regularly and monitor.
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.
A useful pruning and management guide is available from the Kent Cobnut Association. Click Here

Please also note that all our cobnut gift bags are labelled ‘Kent Cobnuts’ even when ordering a different variety gift bag.
Gift Bag Storage Advise: Please note that we keep our cobnuts cool to keep the kernels in good condition. The cooling from storage and during transport can mean the cobs get a bit damp. If this occurs then please air and dry the cobnuts and then place back in the bag once dry. We recommend keeping cobs in the salad draw to keep the kernels larger but do not place the cloth bag in the fridge. If you like sweeter cobs then do not put in the fridge, just leave out to dry and sweeten but be aware if too hot the kernels will dry rapidly. So do not put next to a heater.

3kg, 20Kg – 140kg: Red Squirrel Cobnuts – Preorder
Red Squirrel Cobnut Mix / Squirrel Feed – Preorder Husked 2022 Season – Dispatched on harvest Late August / September
New for 2022 – We now offer the option of choosing dehusked or husked squirrel mix. Dehusked is not ready to preorder, so please sign up to get notified.
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

Fresh Marble Cherries – 3Kg
2022 Season – Now Sold Out – Sign-up for 2023 notification below
Marble cherries are a charming variety with marbled reds and yellows. They can also be identified by their distinctive dark red line that usually features on one side of the cherry. The red line often resembles the veining on marble stone. Marble cherries taste different to black/dark red cherries, they are still sweet but the flesh is white / yellow, they are ever so slightly reminiscent of a peach or nectarine but the flavour is still distinctly that of a cherry. They are certainly worth trying!
Supply and availability – We currently have just one row of Marble Cherries. So our supply in 2022 will be very limited to around 100kg. We will be dispatching orders in the order they are received.
We may have to refund your order if we get more orders than supply. For the last 3 years we have sold out very quickly, so please be aware to avoid disappointment.
It is likely we will sell out of this variety.
