[@bwebster4835]

So looking forward to this series!! My fruit trees are struggling

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Thanks. More to come for sure. I just needed to get some stuff grown and a few years experience before I started going on about stuff. LOL.

[@JohnDoe_88]

First thing to know is best time to plant a fruit tree is three years ago, next best time is right now..

[@kele1264]

I wish I had now years ago that it was this easy to grow nut trees, and that if you buy one from a nursery, you can have nuts your second year or third year in your own yard. Thanks for telling us about your almond tree! Can't wait for the rest of the series!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I really like this tree. LOL Get your Fall Garden Seeds & Spring Seed Starting Supplies at... Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com

[@SmallHoldingAtHillhigh]

Thank you for the information! We live in Northern Virginia (NoVA), have [inherited] a GreenWing Macaw, and have been trying to decide on nut trees to plant.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Can they crack an almond? Just wondering. Good luck. If we could get 3,000 people to donate $5, that would be perfect.... Thanks! If you would like to donate and help build the new Freetown Farm greenhouse for a non-profit I am working with... Here is the donation link and a landing page: www.communityecologyinstitute.org/greenhouse-project.html Thanks so much!

[@SmallHoldingAtHillhigh]

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Yes, their beaks and "jaw" strength are incredibly strong. They can crack almost ever nut, including walnuts and Brazil nuts. They also enjoy fresh and dried fruits, so we're on the verge of planting a food forest.

[@saramanning3868]

Gary - thanks for making such helpful, enjoyable content. I tried my hand at some simple container gardening this year and your videos were a great source of info. Looking forward to this series!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

[@garrett961]

I’m not planting eny more plants because my first frost is November 17 so I got passed 300 subscribers now I’m at 385.thanks for the information, in our neighborhood we have almond trees.thanks 😃😊

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Your channel is rolling nicely. Lettuce leaves can actually freeze and thaw and arent harmed. You could grow some leaf lettuces.

[@garrett961]

Gary Pilarchik (The Rusted Garden) maybe I should thanks for the suggestion and the tip thanks 😊

[@wendysgarden4283]

thank you! I don't like pecans or walnuts and I thought they were the only nut trees that would grow here in 6a. : ) Now I just have to find a space for it...

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I love this tree. Get your Fall Garden Seeds & Spring Seed Starting Supplies at... Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com

[@asianangie7209]

Great video as always! Any problem with squirrels? Ant problems if not cleaned up...seedlings?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Not ants from them. But the yard has ants that do their thing. No squirrel issues. It is a super hard nut to crack. But so far so good. Please help me build a greenhouse for FreeTown Farm, a non-profit I am volunteering at.

[@JRay-ne9hi]

Have one smaller than yours. Willows outside our fence had some kind of fungus on leaves. Now it's on my tree. What should I use and when? Plus, fruit gone within weeks of growth. :( Suspect birds or squirrels. Yes?

[@samishetwi9078]

Any cupper based fungicide will do , normally it's applied before the buds break out . An old method is to use a mix of 8 gr Sulfur with 7gr Calcium Hydroxide in 10 liters of water " Without chlorine " and spraying it before the buds break and after the fruit has set , the second one is considered more friendly to the environment but also harder to apply.

[@valeriehowden471]

In zone 2b but I sure would like to grow this as almonds are one of the few tree nuts my daughter is not allergic to. I really thought those were peach pits!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

They sure look like it... Get your Fall Garden Seeds & Spring Seed Starting Supplies at... Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com

[@cynthiafisher9907]

What a great idea! I didn’t know I could grow almonds in my zone 6 area. Thanks for the info. I deal with peach twig borers and peach tree borers here in SW Idaho. I’m assuming, since the almond is in the same family, they would be bothered by the same pests? I know the east and west of our country often deal with different pests. We don’t have plum curculio here to deal with.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

That could be true. Each zone has its own issues. Dormant oil and fungicide helps a lot of my trees but I am still learning. Get your Fall Garden Seeds & Spring Seed Starting Supplies at... Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com

[@joewie9491]

How do the Almonds taste? I have heard the Halls Almonds are bitter. By any chance is the taste of the Halls Almonds similar to the raw almonds you can buy at the store? I bought a couple of the Halls Hardy Almond trees this year. They arrived today (Around 3-4 ft tall). I hope to plant them next weekend March 25, 2023

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Not bitter at all. I ate them raw. I thought they were similar. Not as plump but taste was fine.

[@TheWBWoman]

I read conflicting reports about whether you have to boil the nuts or not before eating them. What do you do?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Well I am just eating them. But I never heard of almonds needing to be boiled. I am going to read up on it.

[@TimSheets]

do you have many squirrels in your yard? I have a few oak trees in my yard and see very few acorns. I'm assuming it is because of all the squirrels I have. Just wondering if I would get any almonds or if I would be simply planting a squirrel feeder. Thanks for your thoughts on this.

[@bxr9264]

...wondering the same

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

So... yes. Dozens. And they run by the tree. Hopefully you didnt jink me. LOL But trap and releasing squirrels works... I hear. Get your Fall Garden Seeds & Spring Seed Starting Supplies at... Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com

[@emmarasmussen8934]

How do you propagate almondtrees?

[@paolopoli4545]

leave 3/4 shell in grass to take rain and humidity and some will grow a plant!

[@garick]

How long does it take to grow from seed then? Can you take one of these almonds and plant it? Seems like your video only speaks about getting a grafted tree which is why I'm wondering.

[@kirklanddavis]

Would this variety grow from seed?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I don't know to be honest. A lot of nut and fruit trees are clones. Earn 15% by becoming a Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop Affiliate.

If you live in Frederick Maryland, what is a lot of rock and clay soil? Will it take because I have a very open area where plenty of sun happens then during the fall and winter it’s cold as can be and times in the fall where it rains pretty good planting a tree in the well open area still work for me! I wanna almond tree so bad! Hopefully HOA allows me to plan it I was thinking of a walnut tree 🌳

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

My soil is clay. Just prep the growing hole a bit but you should have no issues. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD
