Almond trees flourish best in climates with mild winters, and long, dry, hot summers with low humidity. The Texas Mission almond tree is perfect for areas with late frost.

The beautiful white and pink flowers bud late in the year and the tree produces a small, fat almond that ripens in October. It pollinates with the Halls Hardy, Nonpareil, and Ne Plus Ultra almond trees.

The trees should be planted early in the year, when low temperatures prevent leaf buds from growing - this gives the roots time to regenerate before budding.

Deep, well-drained soils that are reasonably fertile are best, but poor soils are tolerated.

Prune the almond tree branches every year. This is best done in late winter or early spring before the new growth appears. Help the overall growth of the tree by pruning bushy areas to allow the tree to soak up plenty of sunlight and air.

Store the harvested almonds and enjoy the health benefits year round. Almonds contain "good fat" - they actually help raise good cholesterol levels. Add an anti-oxidant rich dark chocolate accompaniment and you have a healthy snack! (Think moderation).

Savor the delights and health benefits of this hearty nut for years to come -- almond trees can produce for up to 50 years.
