Almond Tree

Prunus dulcis is a deciduous small tree or large shrub featuring a rounded, spreading canopy and a twisted, fissured trunk. It is celebrated for its fragrant, pale pink to white blossoms that emerge in early spring before the lanceolate, serrated green leaves appear. Primarily grown for its edible nuts, it thrives in deep, well-drained loamy soils and requires full sun for optimal fruiting. This Mediterranean native is both an ornamental treasure and a valuable agricultural crop.
