Almond Tree Robijn

After a stunning display of delicate pinky-white flowers in the spring the tree produces a heavy crop of soft-shelled nuts with a gorgeously sweet flavour, ready for harvesting in late August.

Very good resistance to peach leaf curl, making it all but immune to the disease.

Will start fruiting approximately two - three years after planting.

• Self-fertile.
• Grown on St Julien A rootstock for an ultimate height of 12-15ft (3.65-4.6m) but can easily be kept at a height of 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m).

• Top Tips
• Almonds prefer a full sun position but will tolerate shade.
• Being closely related to Peaches and Nectarines (you can actually eat the outer flesh in exactly the same way), Almonds flower on second year wood - so avoid over-zealous pruning.
• Pruning is best undertaken after the tree has flowered and set fruit.
