- Harvest time begins, depending on the cultivar, between the end of August and the end of September. At harvest time, the trees are shaken mechanically to encourage dropping of the almonds. This is where popular culture claims the 'l' out of almond is shaken out leaving "ah-mond" in common speech. Furthermore, shaking of the trees lofts a great deal of dust into the air which can make it a particularly irritating time for allergy sufferers and some vehicle owners. After the almonds are shaken off the trees, they are lined up in neat rows and vacuumed into almond haulers. These trucks go to a ''huller'' where the shells of the almonds are removed. Generally, these shells go on to feed cattle. Once that is done, they're shipped off wherever they're needed for further processing such as roasting.	+ Harvest time begins, depending on the cultivar, between the end of August and the end of September.
