🔍 When is it ripe?
Hawthorn: Deep red haws (berries) develop from green. Ripe when dark red and slightly soft. Edible raw but mealy — better for haw jelly, syrup, or wine. Contains a large stone. Improve after first frost.
Hazel: Green husks turn brown and pull back from the nut; ripe nuts fall freely or shake loose. Gather before squirrels. Dry in a warm place for 1–2 weeks for best flavour. Catkins (male flowers) are edible in early spring.
There are about 10 trees planted here within the last 10 years (2022). I walked past them in mid November so I'm not sure if they are producing. They are just beyond the gate before you start the steep descent towards the Dundas Aqueduct.
