My 4 year old Hall's hardy almond did not produce for
a while either. I think the trouble was some kind of
fungal problem.  I started spraying Daconil just after
petal fall for about 3 weeks and the tree started
producing nice quality nuts. It was also suggested to
me to sever a few roots about 3 feet out around the
base to stress it.  I did that also the same year in
winter (that was a one time only thing).  I think the
spraying did it though.  I did it this spring as well
and my nuts are almost ready to harvest.

Lastly, do you know what issue to Pomona the article
was in?
