Planting and growing Almond trees

Question

Will it be possible to plant Almond trees in areas with a high clay content?
Santarem, Portugal?

Answer 1

It is possible, but clay soil should be modified before planting to improve the drainage, and any compaction should be corrected. Adding compost or other sources of organic material will help. Also see this article:
