We all know that the Central Valley is one the if not the best almond producing places in the world. But, have any of you tried in other places in America?

Almond Trees and USDA Hardiness Zones
Growing Almonds in Other Zones
Can?t match the Central Valley?s climate? Not to worry ? many almond cultivars also perform acceptably in USDA zones 7 or 8. They include:
'All-in-One,' (zones 8-9; 400 chilling hours) is a semi-dwarf, self-pollinating tree that wants lots of summer heat. As a bonus, it cross-pollinates with all other cultivars.
'Garden Prince,' (zones 7-9; 250 chilling hours), another self-pollinating semi-dwarf, stands 10 to 12 feet tall. Regular summer pruning maintains it at 8 feet.
'Nonpareil,'(Zones 7 through 9; 400 chilling hours)adapts well to different growing conditions. Grow it with a cross-pollinator, such as 'All-in-One.'
Expert gardener's tip: To guarantee the almond trees you plant suit your hardiness zone, get ones started at a local nursery.
