Hazelnuts

March 4th I posted a shot of hazelnut blossoms. A few made comment that they would like to see what it looks like when they turn to nuts. They are now nut version, but still green. The photo that follows this is the nuts when they are ready to eat. Another comment was what was the difference between a Hazelnut and a Filbert. I Googled it and here is what it says "A filbert is the same thing essentially as a hazelnut. The term "filbert" is applied to the European variety because the bush that these nuts grow on is called a filbert bush because it blooms on St. Filbert's day in late February. The American variety is called a hazelnut and is grown in Oregon and Washington."
below is the link to them in bloom if you want a look.

Excellent shot! Thank you for posting them as nuts and for the information. I did not know that filberts and hazelnuts were the same.
