Hi Meghan,

thank you, i do know Ben through email/messages but havent met him personally. I will touch base with him again.

We have mainly italian but some Oregon varieties of hazelnut being planted next week. It took me quite a lot fo time to read about many different types and im not sure what i chose will be right… thee is not much help in the UK about growing nuts really. only some isolated growers. I have mainly chosen confectionery type nuts rather than the normal Cobb types. Do you work with hazel growers doing it with only silvopasture or also with silvoarable and if so what row widths etc do they use? Many Thanks,
