Dwarf Almond - Self Pollinating Papershell ^9/10

Comments: -

Very fast grower - it went from a nursery whip to about 4 metres in its first year. I think I would have purchased a whole hedge if I had known. Only a handful of almonds the first fruiting season, but I wasn't expecting any, so it was very exciting to have a real homegrown almond. It's a favourite with my chooks as the branches are quite low and the shade plus protection is good.

Picture is of the first real harvest, with heaps more still on the tree. I wouldn't mind planting more of these.

Dwarf Almond - Self Pollinating Papershell (Grafted) ^7/10

Apparro's Edible Fruits
Update: 1957 days 6hrs

Comments: - I love fresh almonds but the ones you buy in the store are almost always stale. That's why I purchased this tree. So far I've had it a year. Last summer I left it in the full sun and it got burned and dropped most of its leaves. Not an ideal start. This year it flowered and currently has a crop of one solitary almond. Seems to have put on around about 15cm of growth; seems a true dwarf.
