Yorizane, The Gold Nut™
The Yorizane almond (Y116-161-99) is a new self-fertile variety released by the USDA as of January 2021. With high yield, excellent yield efficiency, and a high quality nut, it’s sweeping the board on California almond varieties.
We’re calling it The Gold Nut™ for the striking golden color of the kernel and its incredible economic potential in the almond industry.
The variety is a star from the 3rd generation 2014 Regional Variety Trials from the Almond Board of California and the UCCE, where The Gold Nut™ showed itself as the most successful newly introduced variety of this decade. 2023-2024 Regional Variety Trial Report
In the 4th generation Modesto Regional Variety Trial, hosted at the Duarte Dewitt Ranch, the Yorizane produced over 1,000 pounds at 24 months old in 2024. This production level at only second leaf is unprecedented. It towered over other self-fertile and industry standards in the trial. 2024 Modesto Regional Variety Trial Report (Duarte Dewitt Ranch)
