In spring you can see many lamb's tail catkins in the hedges. They are long flowers on the hazel trees. There are many hazel trees in Cornwall. Hazels like Cornwall. There are place names with "hazel tree/s", very old names. Sometimes there was only one old tree, e.g. Engollan ("Hengollen" in 1418). "Hen" means old in place names. The old hazel tree isn't there now, but there is a little factory making candles. An older name is Fentongollan hazel-tree spring (Fentengollen in 1201). Is there a hazel tree or spring there now? There is a farm growing daffodils. Sometimes we love trees for their nuts. There was a grove of trees producing lots of nuts in Killiganoon (Kellygnohan in 1291).
