Step 2: Planting the Seed

• When to Plant: Spring is the best time to plant almond seeds.
• Preparing the Soil: Almond trees prefer well-draining soil with a pH level of around 6-7.5. Enrich your planting area with compost.
• Planting Depth: Plant the seeds 2-3 inches deep in the soil and water it thoroughly.
• Location: Choose a sunny location, as almond trees require full sunlight to thrive.

Step 3: Caring for Your Almond Tree

• Watering: While the tree is young, ensure it gets regular water, especially in dry periods. Mature trees are quite drought-tolerant but will produce better with consistent watering.
• Pruning: In the initial years, focus on developing a strong, healthy framework for the tree. In subsequent years, prune to encourage sunlight and air circulation, which can minimize disease risk.
• Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer to nourish the tree, especially during the growing season.
