Nonpareli Almond Tree

The Nonpareil Almond Tree is a very popular almond tree, and with a large, thick shelled almond, this almond is the #1 commercial almond around, being adapted to most localities. It’s a heavy bearer that blooms in mid-season, and it needs a pollinizer as well. Almond trees are deep rooted and should be planted in deep, fertile, and well-draining sandy loam. Almond trees should be planted 19 to 26 feet (6-8 m.) apart and irrigated despite the fact that the trees are drought tolerant. An application of nitrogen and organic fertilizer will aid in growth. Almond trees require full sun, particularly morning sun, and well-drained soil. A tree that sits in wet soil will develop fungal problems easily. For areas with standing water in the soil, your tree will need to be planted in a raised bed over the native soil.
