We have an old purple hazel which had nuts the first year we were here and then has been barren the past few years. It is laden again this year but I am very green on the nut front.
When do I harvest them? They are in clumps atm and look a decent size but when the purple is pulled off they have a green tinge. They are a decent size.
Any suggestions on storage or what to do with them once they are harvested?
As an aside, when DS opened the first one, a
wee little purple ladybird with white spots crawled out. I am liking our ( not so little ) nut tree.
