Each season this beautiful tree produces a large crop of rich and flavorful almonds! It is self-fertile and the most reliable of the varieties tested at the Mount Vernon, Western WA, research station - so it's a great choice for cool summer growers. Reliable is a seedling hybrid of peach and almond, resulting in nuts with a harder shell and stronger flavor.

Sporting showy, fragrant, pink blossoms and disease-resistant foliage, make this tree your proven winner as a beautiful landscape tree and a consistent producer!

    Yes, anywhere peaches grow this almond will grow too.

  • Will this grow in Port Angeles, WA?

    Yes, they grown fine in your area!

  • I'm in N W Alabama, zone 7b , humid...will Reliable Almond trees grow here??

reliable almond

Tree arrived in good shape. New sprouts are about two/three inches long and it is looking very good. Anxious to see some almonds in two/three years.

So far, so good!

This tree is putting out some nice looking leaves after one week in the ground in zone 9A. Time will tell if it produces any nuts!

Pictures taken on the day of planting and one week later.

Love Almond Trees

This tree appeared dead when I received it and after I planted it it only grew below the graft. When I told the people at Raintree I was told to send pictures and I did-3 of them. They then told me it MAY have been planted too deep-I have a 300 tree orchard and I know how to plant a tree plus the picture would have shown that mistake. Then they tole me the price had increased and with the new shipping it would end up costing me almost as much as the original tree AGAIN. Not overly pleased with them trying to blame me for their dead tree or paying double for a tree.

0/2, these trees aren't great quality.

I ordered 2 of these to go with my other large orchard purchases (~30 trees total). Most woke up from dormancy fine but 4 trees never woke up. One peach, one plum, and BOTH of my reliable almond trees. So much for "Reliable". I'll have to rip out and replace with something else next season. Definitely WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THESE.
