Hazelnuts

 Last year the Hazelnut Bushes (Corylus avellana) produced four nuts!
This year there were many more.
Some became poker chips we believe, others were rounded up and placed in a bowl and a competition was held to guess the number.  All taken into account this years tally was around four hundred.......competition bowl contained three hundred and sixty six.......poker chip and eaten unknown!
PS Another 91 were collected after the competition closed!
PPS And another 74 were collected well after the competion closed. Found a seedling from last years dropped seed...have potted it up....do not know if it will be a fruiting specimen. I had never seen hazelnuts growing till my visiting here.
