Developed in 2008, the independent variety of almond is a self pollinating variety, which is rare in almonds. Traditionally, almonds require cross pollination in order to ensure profitable harvests. In other words, pollen from one variety needs to move to the flower of another variety in order for the flower to be fertilized and set a nut. This is why we have multiple varieties of differing pollen groups planted within almond orchards.

Developed in 2008, the independent variety of almond is a self pollinating variety, which is rare in almonds. Traditionally, almonds require cross pollination in order to ensure profitable harvests. In other words, pollen from one variety needs to move to the flower of another variety in order for the flower to be fertilized and set a nut. This is why we have multiple varieties of differing pollen groups planted within almond orchards.

Developed in 2008, the independent variety of almond is a self pollinating variety, which is rare in almonds. Traditionally, almonds require cross pollination in order to ensure profitable harvests. In other words, pollen from one variety needs to move to the flower of another variety in order for the flower to be fertilized and set a nut. This is why we have multiple varieties of differing pollen groups planted within almond orchards.

Developed in 2008, the independent variety of almond is a self pollinating variety, which is rare in almonds. Traditionally, almonds require cross pollination in order to ensure profitable harvests. In other words, pollen from one variety needs to move to the flower of another variety in order for the flower to be fertilized and set a nut. This is why we have multiple varieties of differing pollen groups planted within almond orchards.

Developed in 2008, the independent variety of almond is a self pollinating variety, which is rare in almonds. Traditionally, almonds require cross pollination in order to ensure profitable harvests. In other words, pollen from one variety needs to move to the flower of another variety in order for the flower to be fertilized and set a nut. This is why we have multiple varieties of differing pollen groups planted within almond orchards. Independent Almonds tend to be on the smaller side, with a higher oil content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStorage Tips\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003eKeep in an airtight jar or container in a cool, dark place.

Developed in 2008, the independent variety of almond is a self pollinating variety, which is rare in almonds. Traditionally, almonds require cross pollination in order to ensure profitable harvests. In other words, pollen from one variety needs to move to the flower of another variety in order for the flower to be fertilized and set a nut. This is why we have multiple varieties of differing pollen groups planted within almond orchards.
