Thanks for the answer guys.
So Im in the south Algarve - Mediterranean climate. I guess somewhere between an zone 9 and 10. The trees are all grafted. It seems down below by the coast the almond trees there all start to bloom (no leaves) in January then later get their leaves. is it that ever blossom produces an almond ? It also says its best ti prune them after they have blossomed. Is that right?
