Texas Mission Almond makes an attractive addition to the landscape, with pretty white blooms with pink centers in late spring. Bloom times that come a bit later help protect your precious crop from late freezes.
Texas Mission Almond is known for being partially self-fertile. Technically, you'll get nuts from a single tree. But you'll enjoy a much larger bumper crop if you can add a second variety nearby.
With pollination support, this tree becomes a reliable heavy producer of hard, well-sealed Almonds. These vigorous trees are easy to care for and maintain with moderate water usage.
