Yeah, I'm pretty sure. If my memory serves me correctly, which it does not always do, that whole orchard is just starting its third summer in the ground. By comparison, I also planted some purple plums that are roughly the same size, but slightly more shaded. The almonds are probably 12-16 feet tall. Even the smaller plum that just sprouted a week or so ago is already almost 2 feet tall already. I guess those pigs fertilized that area well. I also throw my ashes out there, which is supposed to do well for fruit trees, and I did use some of those tree tubes on stock that I was particularly concerned about.
I'm just stoked the Mirabelle survive the winter here.
