‘Hall’s Hardy’ Almond

Grows anywhere peaches thrive! Pretty and productive. Large, hard-shell nuts give way to smaller bittersweet kernels. This attractive tree yields large crops of crunchy almonds in fall, and its lovely pink flowers make it a landscape standout in spring. Grows wherever peaches thrive. Matures to be 15–20′ tall, 10–15′ wide. Ripens in late September. Self-pollinating but should be crossed with a peach or nectarine.

CAUTION! The seed is classified as a bitter almond. The bitter taste comes from glycoside amygdalin, which is the precursor to hydrogen cyanide (prussic acid). Although the seeds contain relatively low amounts of glycoside amygdalin, it is recommended to boil or roast seeds to reduce potential risks since glycoside amygdalin is destroyed by high temperatures.

Stone Fruit Pruning Guide

It is recommended that most stone fruits, apricots, nectarines, peaches and plums, in particular, should be pruned into an Open Center habit also known as a Vase Shape. This, however, is up to the grower as they can be successfully grown with a central leader habit or espalier.

An open-center structure keeps the tree’s canopy open to light, which is necessary for the development of quality fruit. This shape is beneficial in supporting the heavy fruit crops of certain stone-fruit trees since they generally have a natural outward growing habit. The majority of pruning occurs in the winter or early spring while the tree is still dormant.

New Plantings

Young peach trees tend to be dormant, 3 to 6 foot whips with a profusion of side branches coming from the main stem. As soon as the tree is planted cut the main stem back to a height of 30 to 36 inches above ground level. All of the thin, weak side branches should be removed, but if there are three or four strong side branches that are well spaced around the trunk, retain them to form a framework. Side branches should have wide-angled crotches with the trunk and they should be spaced about 6 to 8 inches apart up and down the trunk. After about three years, the scaffold branches will be well established. During this establishing period, any damaged/diseased, water-sprouts, or branches facing into the center of the tree should be removed.

Established Pruning

  • Prune one-third of new growth from the previous growing season.
  • Prune to completely remove dead, damaged, and diseased limbs.
  • Prune to completely remove limbs that are growing inward toward the center of the tree.
  • Prune to completely remove tree suckers and water-sprouts whenever they appear – not just when the tree is dormant.

The tree is one of the more hardy varieties, very productive, and has good resistance to bacterial spot. Excellent for canning and shipping fresh. Ripens in mid-August. Showy pink flowers in early spring. Glossy green foliage. Part of the Haven series introduced by Michigan State University.

Rapidly gaining popularity because of its many desirable attributes: it’s large and round, has firm, yellow flesh and is nearly fuzzless. The fruit is quite stunning on the trees as it is almost 100% red-skinned. The tree is naturally compact, is a sturdy grower, even in windy areas. Freestone. Ripens in late August. Showy pink flowers in early spring. Glossy green foliage.

Self-fertile but benefits from cross-pollination from another peach cultivar with a similar bloom time.
