How do they measure that 8 gallons per almond? Given how many almonds are on a tree, and how many trees are in the orchards, it seems to me that could reach into the billions of gallons of water or more. Iāve always wondered how they arrived at such a number.
Actually, if you look it up, it takes about 1.1 gallons to 3.2 gallons.
Honestly, that still seems very high to me. Again a whole lotta almonds on a single tree. Iāve driven past the almond orchards in Californiaās Central Valley, they go on for miles and miles and miles. That would be so much water on that concentrated area where the orchards are. And other plants and stuff also using water in the area, it isnāt like only the almond trees are using the water.
Read some time ago that the owner of California based āwonderful pistachiosā company also control a majority of the states water production
Look up how water is divided, fish are considered, how farmers and tribes weigh in, and most importantly who makes those decisions. Itās a shocking display each year. We have water science, fish science, agricultural science, and none of those are used to reach decisions. It is one of the most horrible processes Iāve witnessed.
They are actually the same as any stone fruit. It reflects the entire life cycle of the tree.
I stand corrected. 1.1-3.1 gallons.
Same as any stone fruit.
why are you stoning fruit
Cling stone or free stone or rolling stone or stone free? Big, small, short or tall,Ive stoned them allā¦why are you stoning fruit

No, but I learnt to stay away from nuts in school.
I've learned to protect my nuts, in and out of school.
Ahh the school days, a bowl of mixed nuts we were
