This fruit tree is renowned for its robustness and its ability to produce quality almonds, even in harsh climatic conditions. Ideal for orchards or isolated planting, Texas Almond is a smart choice for those looking for a bountiful harvest and minimal maintenance.
Texas almonds are medium-sized, encased in a soft shell, and have excellent white flesh. Their flavour is balanced with a slight sweetness and a touch of bitterness that characterises the best almonds. The fruit is harvested from September to October, offering a generous harvest for use in cooking or to be eaten directly.
The Texas almond tree is a hardy tree that can grow to a height of 4 to 6 meters at maturity. It adapts well to different types of soil, even limestone, and prefers full sun exposure. This tree is able to withstand temperatures down to -20°C, making it an excellent choice for various climates. Although self-fertile, it is recommended to plant another almond tree nearby, such as the ‘Princess’ variety, to maximize production.
Plant Texas almond in well-drained soil, preferably in the fall or spring, to ensure a good recovery. The tree requires regular watering during the first year to promote solid rooting. Minimal maintenance is required, with light pruning in late winter to remove dead wood and maintain a harmonious shape.
Texas almond kernels are perfect for a variety of culinary preparations. They can be eaten as is or used in a variety of recipes, ranging from pastries to savory dishes. Their rich taste and crunchy texture add a depth of flavor to all kinds of dishes.

Although the Texas almond tree is self-fertile, it is advisable to plant it near another variety, such as ‘Ferragnes‘, to ensure optimal pollination and an even more abundant harvest. Its early flowering, from the end of February to March, offers a first touch of spring in your orchard.
