Organic hazelnuts first crop

I didn't expect too much hazelnuts this year. There is only one hazel (Corylus avellana) shrub in my garden that grows freely - to shadow the pond. The other 4 shrubs were cut back a lot in spring and summer - as they will move to new location soon.
Yesterday I collected one full bowl of nuts and second one is still waiting on the shrub. It grows free of pesticides and free of artificial fertilisers...  
Precious shrubs... precious produce....

Lovely! We are waiting for the wild ones in our area to ripen.
