Hall's Hardy Almond

I ordered one tree to start and the next year a second. Both trees are now five and six years old , doing great and have been producing for a few years now. Each year with added yield. They do grow slowly the first year. We live on the eastern side of the state where it can get over 100 in the summer and 10 below in the winter. Trees even in the heat only need watering 2 to 3 times a week. The almonds are sweeter than normal almonds, and shells need to be oven roasted to get them to crack. Beautiful trees in the spring and in this area pretty self sufficient. Although have heard from others that lived in wet climate areas it can affect nut production. I prefer the taste of these to store bought almonds

I was nervous about ordering nut trees but took the plunge and started with this almond. I'm so glad I did. It is strong and growing well!

I have planted many fruit trees and even cared for old growth almonds before. I got it in the ground after following instructions for almonds. It took a while to bud and the tips of the branches began to brown. It did bud leaves, but not completely. There are only a few leaf buds, it's now August and thst are still leaf bud size, not mature. The brown ends continue to spread on the branches. I have looked up and done everything possible. Now those leaf buds are vanishing. I don't know if the heavy rain we got recently knocked them off or not, but there's only a few left and some have dried and turned brown and whats left when I went to take picturesis now turning brown, though the stem is still green. The tree would have had to have been very stressed not to come out of it or possibly not enough cold hours? If anyone knows what to do I'm all ears. This was an expensive tree to have it be this problematic. I recieved my plants in March.
