Almonds
Almonds are fast-growing deciduous trees that combine exceptional ornamental beauty with productive nut harvests, making them valuable dual-purpose additions to Mediterranean-climate gardens. These early-blooming trees showcase clouds of delicate white to pale pink blossoms in late winter, followed by distinctive shiny, grey-tinged green foliage and an attractive upright form. Reaching 15-30 feet at maturity—or maintained smaller through regular pruning—almonds produce nutritious, flavorful nuts that are easily harvested and shelled at home. They adapt readily to most well-drained soil types and perform best in regions with hot, long, dry summers typical of California's Central Valley and similar climates. Most varieties require cross-pollination with another compatible almond for optimal nut production. Grafted on reliable Peach Seedling rootstock for vigor and adaptability, these productive trees thrive in USDA Zones 6-9, offering both spring beauty and late-summer harvests for homesteads and edible landscapes.
