We have just bought a plot of land full of almond trees. It has been neglected for a few years and has lots of old branches lying around. We were thinking to put these in the wood chipper and use as mulch around the garden, but are concerned with the allelopathic properties of the almond tree. Can I use almond branches for mulch or will they inhibit growth of my other plants? Anybody with experience of almond trees that can help me?
