A Dependable Choice
Selected by Doug Campbell of Ontario, Canada as a seedling of the well-known Titan cold hardy almond tree, ‘NC-10’ is a dependable choice, especially for those in cooler, humid climates.
A seemingly self-fertile (or largely self-fertile) almond, it does not require a second cultivar to bear nuts. The nuts are average/medium size with well-sealed shells and a sweet, non-bitter kernel that does not disappoint.
Prized for its reliability in production and notably higher disease resistance, especially in cool, damp, humid climates, ‘NC-10’ can thrive where other standard almond trees might struggle.
The Hardy Almonds that BBN provides our customers are all self-fertile, though a second cultivar could help increase crop yields if desired. They also prefer deep, moderately fertile and well-draining soil with full sun. Once established, they show good drought tolerance. Nuts generally ripen from September through November and are ready when the outer green hull splits open.
USDA Zones: 5-9
Spacing: 15 foot centers
Rootstock: Lovell Peach; a highly recommended rootstock as it provides excellent winter hardiness, consistent tree vigor, and good compatibility. It performs best in well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral loam soils
Pollination Requirements: Hardy Almonds are self-fertile though a second cultivar (different named hardy almond) will improve yields.

Beautiful Beginnings hardy almonds have highly-developed and extensive root systems that set your tree up for success from the very beginning by helping it to anchor well and grow vigorously with proper care.
