About seven or eight months after the flowering is the fall fruiting time of the almond tree [Prunusspp]. An almond tree that isn't flowering or fruiting properly needs to be fertilized and have its pruningschedule checked. A fertilizer application in late fall, after the harvest, gives the tree nitrogen for above ground growth of shoots, phosphorus for below ground growth of roots, and potassium for flowering and fruiting.

Also, a layer of compost or organic mulch that spreads outwards a couple of inches from the trunk to the drip line holds in moisture and nutrients, evens soil temperatures, and discourages weeds.

Additionally, the tree needs to be checked for under or over pruning. Pruning may be necessary in the first years during which the tree is getting established. But its main purpose is an attractive, healthy shape to the tree that encourages the movement of air and the access of air and moisture to all tree body parts. Afterwards, it may need to be done only when the rule of the letter 'D' applies:

1. Damage;

2. Danger;

3. Directing branch growth upwards, sideways, and outwards;

4. Disease;

5. Disposing of suckers;

6. Dwarfing overall height to around 20 feet/6.096 meters.
