'My' hazel trees aren't producing much at all this year, just odd ones and twos of things...there was an early flush of coryli but almost nothing since.

Still spending time looking for paradoxa too, but with no joy up to yet.

Cheers,
Steve

Stigmella paradoxa is very local in Cheshire. It may not be in your area.
