Also cf. the approval data at

The deisgn appears not in the [c2j87] nor its [c2j88]
appendix, as it is a latter one. The design was approved by the royal resolution
of 14 June 1991.
The blazon is: "I rødt fem gull hasselnøtter forent i rosett." In English it may
be: Gules five hazelnuts in annulo stems to center conjoined or.
The description at
http://www.hemneportalen.no/35569/2759/34778-11223.html is more or less well
summarised at
http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Hemne: The arms show five
hazel nuts, symbolising the relatively large hazel forest near the village,
which was of economic importance for the village in previous times. Hazel trees
were also used to make barrels for the local herring fishermen.
The above site also (tries) to explain why five nuts: The original plan was to
have three of them, to symbolise that the municipality was joined in 1964 from
three previous municipalities: previous Hemne, parts of Heim and parts of Vinje.
The proposed arms were not approved, so the number was increased to five. It is
said that a "nettkrulle" (local dialect word for a wreath of nuts) may have up
to twelve nuts, so that with the five they are "well within" (whatever that
actually means).
Željko Heimer, 10 November 2015
This page tells us that "Det sies at hassel kan ha nettkruller med hele 12
nøtter, så naturmessig er vi godt innenfor." (Something like: 'It's said that
hazel can have bunches of even 12 nuts, so where nature is concerned we're well
within.')
