>>I don't believe those are true almonds like in California... Stark claims their All-In-One almonds are genuine - 'the real McCoy'. They are self-pollinating and hardy with the flavor of California almonds. Please check www.starkbros.com for Prunus dulcis var. dulcis 'All-In-One.' Perhaps these almonds will turn out a little smaller in size? >>California almond growers would love to find a self pollinating almond tree! I'll bet! I've been also reading the same California growers are now seeking to ban bees within 2 miles of their Clementine mandarine groves in order to ensure seedless fruit...causing beeekeepers to miss out on an important honey crop.
