Description

Grow something a bit different and versatile! The nutty taste of almonds awaits with these delightful trees of blossoming beauty.

In early spring, even before the foliage has had chance to break through, pale pink flowers with an encapsulating perfume emerge to coat the stems that have been left bare by winter conditions.

Labelled by the RHS as ‘Plants for Pollinators’, the scent and colour of the bowl-shaped blossoms particularly draw the attention of bees and butterflies.

Dark green lanced leaves are gently serrated at the edge, opening shortly after the flowers and adding excellent coverage for velvety, oval-shaped green fruits that hold the all-important almond nuts.

But be patient! The nuts need until the tail end of summer, or even early autumn before they are ready for harvesting and the hard hull will gracefully split open to reveal the nut. The green foliage will fade to a seasonal shade of yellow orange in autumn.

Don’t just fill your garden orchard with everyday apples and pears – grow almond trees to enjoy the earthy nuts, which can be eaten raw, roasted for a salty snack, or even added to recipes to develop a nutty taste in your cooking.

Supplied as a pair of established trees, 90-110cm tall, in 5L pots, ready for planting.

Top Tips

For best performance, grow in a sunny location of the garden, which is sheltered from cold winds, in fertile, yet well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter included to boost moisture retention.

Care Information
  • Plant the tree at the original soil level, firm into the ground and water well.
  • Fruit trees grown in pots will need watering and feeding more regularly than those planted in the ground.
  • To avoid the roots becoming pot bound, re-pot every year or alternate years after leaves have fallen in autumn.
  • Once in its final pot, a plant can be root-pruned every other year with 30 per cent of the compost refreshed. In between, replace the top couple of inches of compost.
  • A good mulch will help to retain water and therefore reduce the need to water as frequently, and will prevent weeds from competing.
  • Your tree will not need drastic pruning, just remove any crossing or damaged branches. Any lower branches can be removed if you want a clear trunk. Otherwise, in subsequent seasons cut back any strong growing branches by one third to promote the formation of fruiting spurs.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
