Pistil lenght, height of the highest anther, stigma/anther vertical distance and probability of stigma/anther contact were investigated, under field conditions, in 15 self-fertile and self-sterile almond variety. For the peristigmatic and ipostigmatic cvs. probability of stigma/anther contact appeares mainly related to the radial distance between pistil axis and the anthers situated at the same height of the stigma. By principal component statistical analysis, no component could discriminate self-fertile and self-sterile group: floral morphometric traits were definitly found to have no relationship to the reproductive biology of almond.
