GROWTH CYCLE OF AN ORGANIC ALMOND DORMANCY
Cold winter weather helps the tree rest before the next growing begins.

BLOOM

A good chill, followed by early spring weather, elicits the first almond blossoms. At this time, bee hives are brought into the orchards for pollination. From this point on, the orchards must be frost-free, with minimal rain.

POST BLOOM

After pollination, petals drop, trees leaf out and first signs of fuzzy gray-green nuts appear. With warmer weather, the crops matures rapidly. Growers are busy irrigating, spreading compost, planting cover crops to increase nitrogen & protect against insect damage.

IMMATURE NUT

Growth of the hull and shell is rapid. During this stage, some of the small nuts cease to mature and eventually drop off the tree. The potential size of the nut crop is estimated.

MATURE NUT

As the fruit reaches full size, the shell begins to harden. The approach of maturity is signaled when the hull splits along the suture line and gradually separates from the shell and begins to dry.

HULL SPLIT

As the split widens, the shell is exposed. The kernels start to dry, and the nut and stem begin to separate.

HARVEST

Mechanical tree shakers knock the almonds to the ground, where they are allowed to dry before they are swept into rows and picked up by machine. Baugher Ranch Produce harvests with draft horses versus mechanical shakers, pulling tarps with nuts, decreasing shock to the trees & air pollution.
