Description
A true California Almond, the Carmel produces a high-quality nut with a good shell seal. Ripening in mid-September, these soft-shell, medium-sized nuts are elongated with light color and sweet flavor.
The Carmel Almond tree is a heavy and early producer. The trees knock easily, making for an abundant harvest of nuts. Excellent for blanching, baking, roasting, and delicious in candy.
The Carmel was introduced in 1966 in Le Grand, California, and continues to be a popular crop in the state today. Carmel is one of the smaller almond varieties and does not spread as wide as it is tall. Popular in the home orchard, these trees are naturally compact and easily pruned.
