If you define orbit to mean the time it takes the Moon to come back to its perigee, that is an anomalistic month, which is 27.55455 days. If you define orbit to mean the time it takes the Moon to return to its ecliptical ascending node, that is a draconic month, which is 27.21222 days.
Almond trees (Prunus dulcis) grow in zones 7 to 9, producing edible fruit and showy, fragrant blooms in hues of white and pink. To achieve the best fruit production, two or more almond trees are required. Almond trees reach heights of only 10 to 15 feet and grow well in compact gardens.
Step 1. Find your USDA hardiness zone using the state map from Grow It (see Resources). North Carolina fits in zones 6b to 8. Gardeners in zone 6b can plant either sweet or tart cherry trees. Those in zones 6b or 7 can grow sweet cherries, and those in zone 8 cannot grow cherry trees reliably since they don't receive enough winter chill hours.
