How to Grow and Care for Fruit Trees
Fruit trees are a rewarding addition to any landscape, offering fragrant blossoms in spring and fresh, homegrown harvests in summer or fall. Popular varieties like apple, peach, pear, and plum thrive in full sun and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Choose trees suited to your USDA zone, and plant in early spring or fall for the best root development.
Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and deep enough so the root flare sits just above the soil line. Backfill with native soil, water deeply, and apply mulch around the base—keeping it a few inches from the trunk—to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water regularly during the first growing season, especially during dry spells.
Prune annually to shape the tree, improve air circulation, and boost fruit production. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced or fruit-specific fertilizer. With proper planting, seasonal care, and a little patience, fruit trees will reward you with beauty, shade, and bountiful harvests year after year.

Hall's Hardy Almond Tree - Prunus dulcis
The Hall's Hardy Almond Tree is an ancient tree. It is one of the earliest domesticated fruit trees, and is rarely found wild in its original setting. There is even archaeological evidence of domesticated almond trees found from the early bronze age in the middle east – so this tree truly has been feeding us for centuries. It is in the peach family, and has blooms similar to that of the cherry. Its fluffy, light pink flowers grace the branches in spring, filling the air with their sweet fragrance.

Notable Characteristics - Hall's Hardy Almond Tree
The Hall's Hardy Almond Tree is a beautiful and unique tree. It bears fruit that has no flesh but is considered a drupe, as it has a stone “pit”. Where the flesh is on a peach or plum is instead a soft, woody exterior which dries out as the season continues. As it dries, it breaks open to reveal the almond in its shell which can then be broken open.
Therefore, almonds are not actually considered a nut, they are actually a drupe. The tree itself has woody, medium sized branches in a warm brown. The leaves are long and oval shaped with pointed tips, and are a glossy, bright green. The flowers are white or very light pink, somewhat resembling cherry blossoms, and are beautifully fragrant.
Landscape and Maintenance
This glorious tree is native to the Mediterranean because it thrives in warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Currently, California is responsible for growing 80% of the world's almonds, but the trees require a high amount of acreage and water to thrive. Given the increase in drought and temperature due to climate change, almond trees are likely to be on the decline.
The Hall's Hardy Almond Tree provides early-season nectar to hungry pollinators like bees and butterflies, and the almonds that drop as its husk dries out provide food for birds and small mammals. This fragrant, showy tree is an absolute gem to grow in your yard.
