Quick read / The essentials on the almond scion
The almond scion is an ideal option for arborists and individuals wishing to shape the structure of their trees themselves. At one year old, it is distinguished by its flexibility and affordable cost, making it an advantageous solution for establishing an almond orchard. Thanks to its young age, it adapts easily to different types of pruning (cattail, half-stem or high-stem) and offers excellent recovery when well chosen according to the soil and climate.
Amandiverse, a specialist wholesale supplier of almond plants , offers premium quality almond scions, carefully selected to ensure optimal growth and abundant future production. Buying almond plants in scion form is an excellent choice for those who want to control the training of their tree while benefiting from an attractive price.
The main advantages of almond scion lie in its economic cost, its training flexibility and its adaptability to different terroirs. Thanks to a rigorous selection of rootstocks and varieties, Amandiverse, a specialist wholesale supplier of almond plants , helps you choose the most suitable for your needs, whether it is a small private plantation or a large farm.
What is an almond scion?
An almond scion is a young, one-year-old almond tree. Unlike a fully formed tree, it has a main trunk and a few side shoots, reaching a height of between 1.20 and 1.50 meters. This “compact” and “malleable” format offers professionals and gardeners the opportunity to shape the tree according to their needs: cattail, half-stem, or high-stem.
At Amandiverse , your specialist wholesale supplier of fruit trees (including almond trees), we offer a wide selection of almond scions suitable for both professionals and individuals. If you are planning to buy almond plants , the scion represents a very interesting option thanks to its flexibility and attractive price.
Benefits of Almond Scions: Why Choose This Option?
1. Attractive price
Almond tree scions are available at much more affordable prices than fully grown trees. Thanks to our short-circuit sales model, Amandiverse offers you producer prices on its entire range of almond plants. Ideal for creating or expanding an almond orchard without breaking your budget.
2. Flexibility in training
With an almond tree scion, you control the shape of your tree. Whether it's limiting the height for easier harvesting or encouraging a wider growth for optimal yield, shaping can be adapted to your needs, whether it's a small garden or a large farm.
3. Adaptability to soils and climates
By choosing the right rootstock and variety for your region, you ensure your almond scions have better recovery and greater resilience. The Amandiverse team of experts is here to guide you in the most appropriate selection based on your soil and climate.
Disadvantages to consider
1. Necessary training
Unlike a fully formed almond tree, a scion requires regular maintenance , including formative pruning and rigorous staking. However, at Amandiverse, we support you with practical advice and personalized technical support to help you quickly obtain a well-formed tree.
2. Delayed production
It takes several years (3 to 5 years on average) for a scion to produce its first significant almonds. For projects aiming for immediate profitability , this delay can be a constraint. However, the customization and savings made on purchase more than compensate for this disadvantage for many professionals.
Spacing and Staking: Ensuring Optimal Growth
Good growth of an almond scion requires adequate spacing and solid staking .
-
Recommended spacing : Allow 3 to 4 meters between each tree so that the roots can develop without competition and the canopy receives maximum light.
-
Essential staking : Install a stake as soon as you plant it to keep the scion upright, especially in windy areas. Vertical alignment ensures better sap distribution and limits the risk of breakage.
Whether you are a professional looking to buy almond plants for a farm or an individual looking to start a small orchard, these precautions will help you optimize the growth of your trees.

-
Choice of variety
Almond trees come in several varieties, some more hardy than others, with varying flowering and harvest periods. Our team will guide you toward the ones that best suit your climate and your goals (yield, taste, disease resistance, etc.).
-
Soil preparation
Properly prepared soil is essential. Loosen the soil and add compost or a suitable amendment to ensure good rooting and recovery.
-
Planting
Dig a hole wide and deep enough to accommodate the roots without bending them. Place the scion, making sure to keep the grafting point above ground level. Backfill, firm down lightly, and water thoroughly.
-
Mulching
Place organic mulch around the trunk to retain moisture, limit weeds and protect the young root from temperature fluctuations.

Choosing an almond tree scion offers an economical and customizable solution for establishing an orchard.
