Step 3: Caring for Your Almond Tree
- Watering: While the tree is young, ensure it gets regular water, especially in dry periods. Mature trees are quite drought-tolerant but will produce better with consistent watering.
- Pruning: In the initial years, focus on developing a strong, healthy framework for the tree. In subsequent years, prune to encourage sunlight and air circulation, which can minimize disease risk.
- Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer to nourish the tree, especially during the growing season.
Step 4: Protecting the Tree
- Pests and Diseases: Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids and diseases like fungal infections. Employ preventative and curative measures as needed.
- Winter Protection: Young almond trees may need protection during harsh winters. Using mulch and protective wraps can help safeguard them from chilly winds and extreme cold.
Step 5: Harvesting Almonds
- Waiting Period: Almond trees will typically begin to produce nuts in the 3rd or 4th year, and reach full production after 5-6 years.
- Harvest Time: Almonds are typically ready to harvest late summer to early fall. The hulls will split and the shell will become visible.
- Drying: Once harvested, allow the almonds to dry in a cool, dry place for a week before storing them.
