Almond is a translated term from Uygur language. Some people call it eight big trees, eight big trees or almonds, while others call it thin-shell almonds. But almond is not almond or peach kernel, but a kind of walnut, which is the most precious dried fruit in Xinjiang.

The difference between almonds and almonds lies in variety, shape, hardness and smell. Almond, also known as almond, is a subgenus of Prunus. Its fruit is small, flat and round, and it mainly eats well-developed and full nuts. Dry and juice-free, the shell is rough and crisp, and it smells delicious. Almond is the kernel of apricot, with short shape, similar to love, hard and smooth shell and slightly bitter taste.

Planting method of almond

1, soil selection

Choose a place with good drainage and fertile soil for planting. Loose soil rich in organic matter is beneficial to root growth, and at the same time, it is necessary to ensure the pH value of soil between 6.0 and 7.5 to provide a suitable growth environment.

2. Planting season

Spring and autumn are the best seasons for planting almonds. In these two seasons, the temperature is suitable, which is beneficial to the growth of seedlings and the development of roots.

3. Cultivation methods

Almonds can be cultivated by sowing or transplanting seedlings. The sowing method needs to put almond nuts in wet sand, keep them moist and wait for germination. The transplanting method is to gently bury the cultivated seedlings in the prepared pit and bury them in the soil.

4, sunshine and irrigation

Almonds need plenty of sunshine to grow and bear fruit normally. Ensure that there is enough sunlight on plants every day to promote photosynthesis. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain moderate humidity but not over-watering to avoid water accumulation to ensure the health of roots.

5, fertilization and pruning

Regular fertilization is helpful to the growth and fruit yield of almond. Apply organic fertilizer in spring and summer to ensure full coverage of root zone. Pruning can help shape trees, promote the growth of lateral branches and increase fruit yield.
