Abstract: A new almond variety (Prunus dulcis) designated as ‘Kester’ is provided that is well-suited for serving as a pollenizer of the widely-grown ‘Nonpareil’ variety. ‘Kester’ is cross-compatible with ‘Nonpareil’ and has good bloom overlap with this variety, making ‘Kester’ highly complementary to ‘Nonpareil’ in production systems. ‘Kester’ has demonstrated low potential for Noninfectious Bud Failure and other serious afflictions of almond. Further, ‘Kester’ displays desirable tree and nut qualities, along with exceptional yields.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a peach-almond hybrid tree, Prunus sp., and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large size, extremely vigorous, hardy, self-sterile, light producing and irregular bearing tree. The nut matures under the ecological conditions described in mid August, with the harvest date on Aug. 10, 2013. The tree is most useful for a commercial rootstock, which has shown to be compatible with all tested almonds. The tree has a strongly developed root system and has shown to be very drought tolerant, very tolerant to excess rain and irrigation, and somewhat resistant to nematodes while having an unknown susceptibility to crown rot, oak root fungus, crown gall, and bacterial canker. As a rootstock, the tree supports very heavy production from budded commercial almond varieties.

Good bloom overlap in combination with good production quality is displayed. The tree exhibits an upright and spreading growth habit. Abundant lateral vegetative growth is produced on current season shoots which makes possible high tree productivity. Desirable fruit and kernel characteristics for shelled and possessed almond production are displayed.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of almond tree that is somewhat similar to the ‘Carmel’ and ‘Nonpariel’ varieties, but is distinguished therefrom in being slightly darker in color than the ‘Carmel’ and in having a larger kernel than the ‘Nonpariel’. In addition, the fruit is produced several days after both ‘Carmel’ and ‘Nonpariel’ varieties. The fruit is of medium size and has a soft shell. This new invention has a good flavor and is free from an unusual number of doubles (kernels in the shell).
