Almond Harvest-Shake Your Tree!

[@pedrowalter]

Excellent. What about if you can tie a sawsall to the branches to shake it !!!!

[@foodscapingutah5239]

Not a bad idea 😆

[@Christensengarden]

What other variety do you folks use as a pollinator? Thanks for the video. I'm in Cedar City, and this seems to be just what I'm looking at doing myself

[@foodscapingutah5239]

Glad to help! We've had All-in-one almond as a pollinator and it has worked very well. Last year we also planted Price Almond as another option that also grows into larger tree. All-in-one is great for a smaller tree.

Why not a peach?

How do you like the superduke?

[@sophsterm]

How do you know when to shake it? Do you wait for the green part to open up?

[@foodscapingutah5239]

Yes, opening indicates that they are becoming ready.

How many pounds of almonds did you end up harvesting?

[@foodscapingutah5239]

I don't believe we weighed them, but my guess is that we usually only get 3-5 pounds per tree. Which is wonderful when we get them but we do eat them fast!

Pollinizer 1:30

[@foodscapingutah5239]

Yep 😊. A pollenizer is the tree/flower that provides the pollen. A pollinator is the insect, bird, etc that spreads the pollen.
