Almond Trees For Sale at Nature Hills Nursery
Almond trees from Nature Hills Nursery help you create an edible landscape. Go nuts with these aesthetically pleasing trees that produce tasty, nutritious fruit for snacking and baking.
Almond Tree Origins
Native to the Middle East, almond trees were one of the earliest fruit trees cultivated for domestic use. The almond tree’s nutritionally dense fruit is technically not a nut but a drupe ... a fleshy fruit with a single seed, like its cousin the peach.
Spanish missionaries first brought almond trees to California in the 1700s, and the state is now a world leader in commercial almond production.
How & Where to Plant Almond Trees
Almond trees thrive with full sun, good drainage, and careful seasonal pruning for healthy growth and abundant harvests.
- Require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily (morning sun preferred)
- Need well-drained soil and moderate watering
- Apply a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch to retain moisture
- Benefit from summer pruning to control size
- Are partially self-fertile but produce more with a second or third tree nearby for better pollination and higher yields
