Recent Question from Gardeners
Question
Almond Tree
My almond tree is 3 years old with several suckers coming up around the tree;however the tree itself is dead. The trunk is split and the bark is peeling off in spots. Will these sprouts amount to anything or should I dig the whole tree out. It was very healthy and even bore some almonds the first year.
Answer
Its time to do the final pruning cut right at ground level, those water sprouts are most likely from a different rootstock and may never produce fruit.
