Step 4: Protecting the Tree

• Pests and Diseases: Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids and diseases like fungal infections. Employ preventative and curative measures as needed.
• Winter Protection: Young almond trees may need protection during harsh winters. Using mulch and protective wraps can help safeguard them from chilly winds and extreme cold.

Step 5: Harvesting Almonds

• Harvest Time: Almonds are typically ready to harvest late summer to early fall. The hulls will split and the shell will become visible.
• Drying: Once harvested, allow the almonds to dry in a cool, dry place for a week before storing them.

Step 6: Enjoying the Rewards

• Roasting and Eating: Roast your almonds for a tasty snack or use them in your cooking.
