Sweet Almonds

The almond tree is not dissimilar to the peach in its size, habit of growth, leaf form and flower. Because it comes into flower even earlier than the peach the risk of blossom being damaged by frost is much greater. When they can be grown without the flowers being damaged by frost, good yields can be obtained. They are grafted on to the St. Julien ‘A’ rootstock and trained either as a bush, half standard or standard.
