Hello All,

>Stark Brothers from Louisiana, Missouri :)) has been selling self-
pollinating, hardy almond trees for years.  I bought and planted one
2 years ago.

I don't believe those are true almonds like  in California or they would
need bee pollination. I am not sure what the difference is but they are
similar but different.

California almond growers would love to find a self pollinating almond tree!

My non parel bloomed this year but the sonora pollinator did not so no
almonds.

Also It will be a rare year I get any almonds due to the fact only a few
hours at 24 F. and below will ruin the crop. Glad i have only six and not
6000 in Missouri!

They are a beautiful true, The bees love the bloom and are on a peach root
stock so winter hardy trees for my area. I do believe they can fall prey to
the peach tree borer if not careful.

I bought mine through a large California almond grower we did pollination
for at one fifth the cost to the public so  why not plant a few? No shipping
as I hauled back myself.

Bob
