Almond Pollination

Categories: Fruit Growing

My almond trees look healthy but the fruit seems to be diseased. Is it

necessary to have male and female trees, and how can one distinguish

them?



The almond is monoecious and has perfect blossoms, therefore, there is

no such thing as male and female trees in the case of the almond, but

most of the best soft-shelled almonds are self-sterile and need

cross-pollination from another variety. This is discussed elsewhere in

answer to another question.
