Looks like you have an over stood (neglected) coppice. People would coppice hazel for poles. These poles could be used as is or made into hurdles after splitting. Hazelnuts are ready early autumn, lightly roast to preserve.
@chrisfryer3118 Brilliant, thanks for the tips! I was told yesterday they need some pruning and I plan to look into it. These trees have likely not been tended to in at least 6 years, but probably closer to 10. I'm really keen to give them a new lease on life!
Dem be sum purty nuts ya'll got right there
Why thank you! I love my nuts... it's a shame half of them are hollow 🫠
