Almond tree - Prunus dulcis.

Description

The almond tree is a fruit tree native to the Middle East and Central Asia, whose almonds have been prized for their flavour and nutritional value for thousands of years. They are characterised by their white or pink flowers that bloom in spring, creating a visually enchanting spectacle. They require a warm, dry climate with cold winters for proper development and almond production. Their fruits are widely used in cooking, as healthy snacks and as an ingredient in a variety of sweet and savoury dishes.

  • Scientific name: Prunus dulcis.
  • Leaf: Deciduous
  • Curiosities: It is also valued for its flowers, which attract beneficial pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, thus contributing to biodiversity and pollination of other nearby crops.

    Care

    • Temperature: It thrives in regions with cold but not extremely cold winters and warm but not excessively hot summers. 15-30ºC
    • Light: In general, it prefers to be exposed to full sun for most of the day. It requires full sun for at least 8 hours a day for optimal development. The more sunlight the almond tree receives, the greater its ability to develop tasty, well-formed fruit.
    • Watering: Deep and less frequent watering is preferable to shallow and constant watering. Water the almond tree just enough so that the water penetrates down to the root system, encouraging the roots to grow downwards in search of water and nutrients. Avoid waterlogging.
    • Manuring: It requires a balanced and adequate fertiliser to provide the necessary nutrients for its growth and fruit production with a fruit tree fertiliser. Especially in spring and summer. It is not recommended during the winter.
    • Transplanting: If it is to be grown in a pot, it is recommended to transplant the pear tree to a larger pot every few years to prevent its roots from becoming too tight and restricting its growth. If transplanting is not desired, growth should be controlled by pruning.

    Please note

      .
    • The pruning of the almond tree is preferably carried out during the winter, when the tree is in its dormancy period, to remove dead, diseased or crossed branches, and to encourage healthier growth and better fruit production.
    • The almond tree can face challenges due to various pests, such as aphids, moths and fungi, so it is essential to regularly monitor the tree, apply preventive treatments and use appropriate control methods to protect its health and productivity.

    * The size indicated is indicative. It is an approximate height calculated by averaging the height of several specimens. As living beings, each plant has its own shape and growth rate and, therefore, the measurement cannot be taken as exact.

    * Some plants that have flowers and/or fruits may not have them at the time of purchase. Since flowering, fruit production and even foliage production is seasonal, it may be the case that the time of purchase does not coincide with these flowering or fruiting periods, which does not imply that the plant has a defect or deficiency.
