Looking at my almond trees, today, after the rain. A very pretty sight in late winter. Sorry about the wind interfering with the sound. All trees grown, 30 years ago, from nuts bought at the fruit shop. I pierced plastic coffee cups with a hot nail. Filled the cups with potting mix. Planted an almond nut in each. And here's the result--still blooming after three decades. Almond blossoms attract honeyeaters and parrots. Not a huge amount of nectar, but enough to make it worth their while. Cockatoos will eat the nuts while they are still green. So will I. If the birds don't take them all, nuts will ripen fully on the tree.
