Soil Almonds prefer light, well-drained, somewhat sandy soil. Mulching helps retain moisture and helps to stabilize the soil temperature. Sunlight / Water Plant almond trees in early Spring. Almonds grow best in full sun in a location where cold air or frost will not settle. Choose a protected location that is sheltered from wind. Water regularly, at least weekly, during the first year. Keep the soil evenly moist, but not wet. Almond trees are prized as ornamentals because of their beautiful white Spring flowers. Monterey almond can be pollinated by Wood Colony and Nonpareil almonds. Trees are heavy producers.
Planting Instructions Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the container. Place the plant in the hole, surround with soil and cover the roots to the same level as it was in the container. Make sure not to plant it too deep. Add water and allow the soil to settle around the roots. Fill in any void areas with more soil to make sure that there are no roots exposed.
