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
