Right plant, right place

Will Garden Prince almond grow at your Arizona property?

The low desert usually supplies roughly 300–400 chill hours. Favor low-chill, early-ripening cultivars there; colder Arizona elevations can support higher-chill choices.

Planting & stewardship

How to help Garden Prince almond thrive

  1. 1

    Choose a rootstock suited to the site’s soil, drainage, salinity, desired size, and pest pressures.

  2. 2

    Plant bare-root trees while dormant, keeping the graft union above finished grade.

  3. 3

    Thin developing fruit early enough to improve size and reduce limb breakage.

  4. 4

    Use dormant and summer pruning intentionally to balance shade, access, vigor, and next year’s fruiting wood.
