Almonds are one of the first blooming nut trees, and therefore susceptible to late frosts. Heavy yielding trees that grow best on well-drained, fertile soil. Trees require full sun and enjoy a low water requirement. Almond trees are susceptible to brown rot, shot hole fungus, and navel orange worm. Harvested almonds are shelled and store extremely well. These nuts are a popular addition to salads, desserts or snacks.
