In Almond production, time of harvest depending on the location. Normally, they are ready for harvest when the hull color changes from green to yellowish with cracks or splitting at suture starting from the pedicel end. Under premature harvest conditions, the hulls remain on stick tights and it needs more energy to dislodge the nuts, resulting in damage to limbs in the form of wounds. Nuts must be placed at a shady place for drying and removing hulls. Almonds require 180 to 240 days for nuts to mature where in the nut has dried to minimum moisture content. To harvest the almond, shake the tree, and then separate the hulls from the nut. Freeze your almond nuts for 1 to 2weks to kill any residual worms and then store in plastic bags.
