PINK AND WHITE BEAUTY

Almond blossoms begin to bloom Saturday on trees on the Brad Freeman Trail in Oroville. Almonds were the No. 3 valued product in the 2019 Butte County Crop Report, worth more than $140 million. The trees typically bloom in February and March and, after bees pollinate the flowers, produce fruit called drupes that split open in July and August.

Almond blossoms bloom Saturday on the Midway in Chico.
