To shape a tree, choose six strong upper branches to form the main scaffolding, and remove the lower branches as well as those that hang down.Hazelnuts drop from the tree as they ripen in fall.

When the black aphid is feeding, it injects a toxin into the leaf that causes the tissue to turn yellow, then brown and die. In any case, the leaf injury reduces yields as well as the quality of the nuts due to lower carbohydrate production.Yellow aphid...

Almond tree problems are most serious if the trees have inadequate irrigation in the early months of bud and leaf development.On the other hand, over-watering has its own dangers. But if you are considering planting these trees in your garden, you should...

Cut just outside the branch collar, using a slight angle that will force moisture away from the newly cut surface. During the dormant period is the best time for such maintenance but you can remove damaged limbs at any time if they pose a hazard.

The drupe has a leathery hull that surrounds it, giving it the look of a green peach. Still, if fruit develops on your tree, you'll want to think about harvesting it. When drupes are mature, they split open and, in time, fall from the tree.

Never let two branches rub together, and always allow enough space for air and sunlight to get through – this cuts down on the spread of disease. There is little more rewarding than harvesting nuts from your own yard.

Although care of the desert trees is relatively uninvolved, pruning pistachio trees is important for commercial orchardists who use machines to harvest the pistachios. For example, although the branches should be equi-distant around the circumference...

Check the branches and twigs for the distinctive, elliptical cankers. The disease leaves small, football-shaped stromata on the tree's twigs and branches, and the little cankers may not appear until a year or two after infection.

If you have more than a few almond trees, renting a hive is the best way to ensure pollination.to your property by providing a source of water and planting other bee-pollinated flowers.Avoid using insecticides on your property, especially during the almonds'...

Pecans, as well as other nut types, can cause gastric intestinal upset or even an obstruction, which can be serious. Juglone doesn't tend to leach out of the soil and may poison nearby foliage at the circumference of twice the radius of the tree's canopy.

Because the wind can help pollinate these trees, self-fertile varieties require fewer bees per acre to achieve good pollination rates.Successfully pollinating almonds is very important, but it's not the only factor in good nut yield.
