GV Wire’s Edward Smith talks with KMPH Fox 26 “Great Day” anchor Karl Cooke about the introduction of a new self-pollinating almond tree that requires less resources.

Farmers may have the opportunity to “pre-order” the tree next year and deliveries may come as early as 2027.

Some farmers say this new type of almond tree will be a gamechanger that reduces costs and requires fewer bees for pollination. Other farmers say the new tree variety is too early to judge and the unintended consequences are unknown.
