Stalk was very large when rec'd. Has blooms already. Beautiful tree, well shaped. Already have one other Hall's Hardy and one All-in-One almond tree. This one looks like it'll do very well!  -  Wednesday, July 08, 2009 Hall's hardy Almond Reviewed By: Jamie Bowes (Baldwinsville, New York) I've had 2 trees for about 5 yrs. Produced fruit 2nd year. Definitely peachlike. To harvest leave fruit on tree, it will turn green and split and produce a clear sticky sap like fluid. Leave fruit on tree until dried fruit or husk splits open revealing pit (almond shell). Pick split husks and dry in sun for a couple days. Husks will peel from almond quite easily. I let my almonds sit in storage all winter and crack for nut in spring. very hard shell. I live in central new york (apple crops common) Branches droop under weight of fruit and become susceptible to high wind. Difficult to mow lawn below trees. So far, very pest resistant. Will try eating fruit this season. Tasted before and seemed like peach but I wasn't sure if fruit was truly edible. I've read online several opinions that it is edible.  -  Thursday, February 19, 2009 Hardy Almond Reviewed By: Donna (Berea, Kentucky) Trees were shipped dormant (sticks as some people refer to them) which is the preferred way to ship trees. Soaked, staked, planted and they are thriving. Bought two trees. One was planted in richer soil and is almost double the size of the one planted in a more clay-type soil environment. Still both trees are doing well. I hope to see beautiful blooms on the trees this year. Oh, and I bought two more trees.  -  Monday, February 16, 2009 Fast grower Reviewed By: Thomas (Locust Grove, Georgia) I bought this tree in 1998. I moved two years later but the tree had grown so big, I was unable to dig it up and take it with me. It grew a multitude of nuts in the second year but I could not figure out how to get the nut out. Still a lovely tree. I frequently drive by the old house, (it's only 4 miles away), just to view the tree. I blooms out beautiful pink every year!  -  Saturday, October 11, 2008 Hall's Almond Tree Reviewed By: Robert Cook (Sycamore, Ohio) We purchased the halls almond tree two years ago and already have nuts the second year .Showy pink blooms and a delight to see in the spring.Ready to purchase our second tree.
