Tuono almond tree produces almonds of excellent eating quality, with a semi-hard shell that is fairly easy to open. The kernel weighs around 1.6 g.
Tuono is self-fertile, so a single tree can produce fruit. Flowering is late for an almond tree, around early March.
Harvest is very early, from late August.
Tuono is an old Italian almond variety originating from Apulia.
Almond trees appreciate warmth and should be planted in a sunny, sheltered position, protected from wind and spring frosts. In northern climates, planting near a wall can help provide better growing conditions.
A healthy, ventilated site that is not too humid will also help limit disease pressure during flowering.
We graft and train our almond trees in the nursery, in open ground. They are then supplied bare-root, in several tree forms and on different rootstocks depending on availability.
