Organic "mollar" variety almond grove

"Mollar" variety is an ancestral one typical from areas whre frost damages in winter are not important.
It is the earliest variety in Spain.
It is appearly similar to Abdul Wahidi variety, long shape, 100% sweet & soft shell, but we have not tested Abdul Wahidi to make such statement.
100% sweet its soft shell made growers decide for alternative varieties with better commercial results.
