These tasty nuts can be hard to grow unless climatic and soil conditions are just right, but if you're lucky enough to live in an almond-friendly area, you'll be rewarded with a delicious harvest beginning in late summer.
Knock nuts from trees once the hulls have cracked open and the kernels are partially dry.
Slit the hulls, then remove shells and spread them in the sun. Let dry for 1 to 2 days, until the kernels rattle in the shells.
Gather and use immediately, or store for 6 months in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.

on 9/30/2008 Baganut makes nut harvesters that work on Almonds. They are easy to push or can be pulled behind a trailer/ATV/mower. They start at $375 but are well worth it!
You can watch a video on the home page of their website www.baganut.com

on 8/20/2008 I have a almond tree that produces well but the nut is small and shrunk. Why?
