ALMOND MONTEREY

Prunus dulcis 'Monterey' — Monterey is a popular, high-yielding almond variety known for its large, plump nuts with a rich, sweet flavor and semi-soft shell. A mid-to-late season bloomer, it pairs exceptionally well with Butte as a cross-pollinator — the two are commonly planted together for maximum nut production. Vigorous, adaptable, and reliably productive, Monterey is a top choice for home orchards and edible landscapes.
