- Planting:
- Select a sunny location with well-draining, fertile soil.
- Plant in a hole twice the width of the root ball and equal in depth.
- Water thoroughly after planting and apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
- Watering:
- Water regularly during the first few years to establish deep roots.
- During the growing season, provide consistent moisture, especially as the fruit develops.
- Avoid waterlogging, as almonds prefer well-drained conditions.
- Pruning:
- Prune annually in late winter to early spring, before new growth begins.
- Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches, and thin out the canopy to improve air circulation and light penetration.
- Shape the tree to maintain a strong, open structure that supports fruit production.
- Fertilizing:
- Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support growth and fruit development.
- Additional feeding may be necessary during the growing season, particularly in poor soils.
- Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of fruit production.
- Pest and Disease Control:
- Monitor for common pests such as aphids, spider mites, and plum curculio.
- Use appropriate treatments, including insecticidal soaps or horticultural oils, to manage infestations.
- Protect the tree from fungal diseases like brown rot and leaf spot by ensuring good air circulation and avoiding overhead watering.
