Sweet Almond (Prunus dulcis)
| |
|
Exposure: Full sun to light shade. Zones 6-9
Soil: Well-drained circumneutral garden soil
Growth habits: Almonds are attractive, upright
growing, medium sized trees to 30 feet, prized for their profuse,
pinkish-white, fragrant flowers and beautiful architectural form.
Almonds are somewhat self fertile but it is best to plant two varieties
for best nut production. In our climate almonds don’t usually
bear nuts due to their early flowering, however our Ukranian varieties
were specially selected for their very late blooming characteristics,
blooming at the same time as peaches, thus escaping late frosts
most years and making almond nut production possible in our region
for the first time. Almonds ripen in fall. We are proud to be able
to offer these wonderful trees to our customers for the first time.
Landscape uses: Our Ukranian almond varieties are
handsome trees suitable for use as specimen trees, forest gardens,
or in the home orchard.
Edible/Medicinal properties: Almond nuts are very
nutritious, high in fiber and beneficial oils, and can be eaten
fresh or dried, processed into flour or almond milk, or used in
cooking.
