The subscriber of the olive trees. Black Friday is here! Look at our selection with the best discounts in gardening and more! The best time to prune is when the trees are dormant. Almond trees have brown or gray bark. The branch of this tree also has lichens growing. Lichens are often found on tree trunks, branches and twigs as the bark provides a stable place to grow and get needed sunlight, rainwater and air.
Here are the almond trees in summer when full of leaves. Almond trees are compact and range from 15 to feet tall. They are deciduous and grow white to pale pink flowers in early spring. By early fall, the almonds develop inside small fruits, like the pits of peaches. The almond fruit measures about two inches long, and is called a drupe.
The outer covering, or exocarp, is a thick, grayish green coat, with a downy feel to it. This fruit is not edible. The hairy, green fruits are also oblong in shape. And the leaves of the almond tree are long — about three to five inches. Almonds are harvested in early autumn. Many fall from the trees on their own. In earlier years these trees did not produce as many fruits, but now they produce lots and lots of almonds.
Some of the drupes will open on their own, exposing the shells, but most will have to be opened manually. At maturity, the flesh of the fruit becomes leathery and splits to reveal the hull, which can measure up to two-and-a-half-inches long.
The fruits are pretty soft, so removing it is not difficult to do. Here is an opened drupe showing the outer hull, and the hard shell containing the almond seed. Shelling almonds refers to removing the hull to reveal the seed, which is what is eaten.
These must be dried to reduce the moisture in the kernels. Remove any other limbs. Apply the pruning techniques from the second dormant season at one or two branch levels higher during the third dormant season.
Select two limbs on each secondary branch, choosing branches that are well-spaced and are growing upward and outward. Prune the limbs back to 24 to 30 inches or about one-half their length, and then prune off any other limbs.
