Baos Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Just wondering if there are any laws against growing almond trees here? Curious why more people don't do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I don't think almond tress will survive in our climate as its too cold. You can always call a nursery to ask if there is a new hardy variety available that can survive our winters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baos Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm growing one right out of my fish tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baos Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I planted it in a special filter I made, however when it grew big enough I completely submerged it and let it grow out of the top. It secretes a tree sap and the fish appear unaffected by it. (clown loach, corydoras,plecos) To germinate this tree as I understand it grows along rivers, it needs to have water constantly flowing around it and through it. I used potting soil mixed with sand. I planted 6 seeds and two came up. This was my fourth attempt to germinate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWater Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 you should post a picture of it. It sounds like a neat thing to have in a tank. I would suposed you would plant the unsalted variety. But i do love the chocolate covered ones. You should try that one next. mmmmm But for real a picture would be cool :smokey: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, good and interesting idea, beats my paying 30$ for 300, buy the source. Where did you manage to snag these 'seeds' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EowynJane Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I agree! Pictures! This sounds really neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baos Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Didn't really want to post pictures because it's kind of embarrassing burning the plants leaves on my light which is when I decided to submerge it. The other plant (tomato) is technically this aquariums sole filtration system. 0% ammonia at all times just perfect for clown loach. Some sort of relationship with bacteria that holds the ammonia near the tomatoes roots. On this picture my pleco's strip the plant of bark. So far it has not had any negative impact on the tree.
