ALMONDS (Prunus amygdalus) Almonds are beautiful ornamentals with their attractive foliage and early spring pink fragrant flowers. They are of the "prunus" genus and resemble a peach tree. Except, you discard the fruit, crack open the pit and eat the nut inside. The tree can be maintained at 15' to 20' tall. USEFUL FACTS POLLINATION: Self fertile. SUN OR SHADE: Full sun. PLANT SPACING: All in One 12', Titan 15', Halls Hardy 20'. HARVEST TIME: September-October BEARING AGE: 3-4 years. HOW TO GROW SOIL REQUIREMENTS: Well drained soil. HOW TO USE IN THE LANDSCAPE: Fragrant pink spring flowers make it a wonderful ornamental, especially the disease resistant and vigorous Halls Hardy. IN THE KITCHEN: Almonds have many uses. The Halls Hardy needs to be boiled and the water discarded to rid it of bitterness. Click your browser's back
