  1. Spending the weekend in the Alps south of Geneva and seeing lots of hazelnut bushes everywhere! Also persimmon trees, ornamental pomegranates, wild strawberries (of course! :-), plums and apples.

    A veritable fruit bowl here at 1000 metres in the mountains!

  2. @peterbrown @simon_brooke @breadandcircuses @LillyHerself yes, and we can grow them so much bigger now than the wild ones …although who knows how big they were back then? #PlantBreeding

    Texture [5/5]: A hard and satisfying crunch.

    Flavor [4/5]: Good as a companion to coffee or chocolate (#nutella!), but nothing special on its own.

    Appearance (shell on) [5/5]: A classic and pleasing acorn look.
    Appearance (shell off) [3/5]: OK but boring.

    Overall [4.2/5]: A good, quintessential nut.
