Nonpareil Almond Tree

Do you love almonds - but don’t love grocery store prices? With the Nonpareil Almond, you’ll get 20+ lbs. of fresh almonds in your very own backyard without having to take needless trips to the store or spend dozens of dollars.

The Nonpareil Almond is a heavy-producing almond tree that blooms with sweet- smelling, white and pink flowers during the month of March. These aromatic flowers are pleasing to the eye and to your favorite pollinators. Once the blooming has ended, you’ll be thrilled to see almonds ripening throughout the months of August-September.

And although the Nonpareil Almond is partially self-fertile, cross-pollinating with other varieties like Ne Plus or the All-In-One Almond Tree will increase the yields even more. 

The Nonpareil Almond requires minimal maintenance or fuss. Simply plant in a full sun location that receives 400 chill hours per year. With this tree being cold hardy to negative 20°F or below, it can be planted throughout zones 6-9.

Whether you’re looking to save on your grocery bill or simply enjoy fresh, homegrown food, the Nonpareil Almond is the perfect solution. Don’t wait to order - these always sell out quickly!

Planting & Care

1. Planting: These trees can tolerate partial shade but prefer around 6 hours of sunlight daily. Avoid planting your tree in areas of your yard that are prone to flooding - well-drained soil is best.

Dig a hole that’s just as deep as the root ball, and three times as wide. Make sure that your tree is straight and that the root collar is level with the surrounding ground. Backfill your hole and gently tamp the soil down as you go to eliminate air pockets. Finally, water and then mulch the area to deter competing growth and to preserve soil moisture.

2. Watering: Feel your soil every few days. Once it feels like it’s close to drying out about 3 inches down, give your tree a slow drink of water by holding a hose to its base and counting to 30 seconds.

3. Fertilizing: We suggest waiting two to three years before fertilizing. To give your tree a boost, feed with well-balanced organic fertilizer, like formula 10-10-10, in the late winter or early spring.

4. Pruning: The best time to prune is in the late winter or early spring when your tree is still dormant. Be sure to remove any dead or broken branches, as well as crisscrossing or rubbing branches.
