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
Almonds require at least six hours of direct sunlight each day, and morning sun is best to quickly dry their foliage. These trees also need well-drained soil and moderate watering, for which a thick layer of mulch can be helpful. Summer pruning can keep the size of almond trees manageable. Most olive tree varieties are partially self-fertile, meaning you’ll get some fruit from a lone tree. However, with the pollination support of a second or third almond tree nearby, you’ll reap much better crops.
Almond Tree Varieties
Browse our inventory for varieties of almond trees suitable for the USDA planting zone in your area. The disease-resistant Texas Mission almond tree is perfect for hot, dry summers in zones 7 to 9. Its late-spring blooming habit protects it against late frosts, and its spreading profile adds an evocative element to your landscape.
