Does anybody have any experience with almond trees? I think I'm going to set 2-3 out in the yard. My wife likes the blooms and I LOVE almonds. http://www.eburgess.com/detail.asp?pid=6101&nav=treI think I'm going to try these. Thoughts?

I didn't know that almonds would grow in our area. They say these will.
Let us know how they do. Good luck.

I know they grow great in California when they got rain. Never heard of growing them here.

It says zones 5-9. I believe I'm in zone 7a. Still haven't made up my mind, but I'm leaning toward getting them.
I'd probably need to wait till this fall, right?

Doesn't it take 30 gallons of water to produce one nut, (or some other crazy amount)? That sounds like propaganda. Especially since an Almond tree may produce several hundred pounds in a place that never gets more than a foot of rain per year.

Gotta have bees to pollinate them.

Seems like Aldeer is becoming the Al Beekeeper sanctuary.

Seems like Aldeer is becoming the Al Beekeeper sanctuary. Only the garden and farm section. I had no idea there were as many beeks on aldeer as there are. I was just relaying a fact about almonds.

I'm just trying to learn enough to be able to eat honey on my biscuits and then barter the excess honey in exchange for Classified Ad success. But, I guess I would have to sell something occasionally for that to happen. Warning: This dadgum bee stuff can get addicting.

I just asked the same question to a guy I work with that has one. His is only 2 years old but is growing good and he expects it to bear next year. I'm a good bit South of you but I will be ordering a couple this fall.
