Description
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.
