    Well draining soil is key to success.
    Amending the soil would help with drainage.

    This, to me, signifies either of two things: 1. They could have experienced a cold snap, or 2. The more likely issue is that it has a phosphorus deficiency. These trees are heavy feeders and will need fertilization often.

    Here is an article for more information on the care of the trees: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/nut-trees/almonds/growing-almond-nut-trees.htm

    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:

    Pruning back some can help, but there are many other requirements for the tree that need to be met as well. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/nut-trees/almonds/growing-almond-nut-trees.htm

    What you describe is possibly due to drought stress. Are you deep watering the entire root zones at least once a week during dry periods?

    Fertilization and mulching to preserve soil moisture are additional insurance for plant health and resistance to drought stress.

    Do you know if this is a sweet or bitter almond? I would advise handling almonds with care, as some species are toxic before preparation. The sap is definitely a defense mechanism. Have you noticed any holes, or indication that there are any insects eating at the tree? I would always was anything you prepare anyways, since there is always a chance that something has gotten on the fruit.
