We planted some Hall's in the mid 80's in central Tx. We moved long time ago but the trees are still there. The pic below was taken a couple years ago. We never got any nuts off the tree, they bloomed and then frost got them. I think farther north they will not bloom so early. We planted some when we moved here, about 100 miles south of where we were before. The trees made nuts ok, then after about 4 years they just died, all 3 of them. The problem we have always had with almonds is the shells are like titanium and its difficult to get to the meat of the nut. They were lovely landscape trees with their beautiful spring flowers. Hope you enjoy them... Tom
