The common almond — a spring jewel for your garden

Easy to care for, tolerates pruning and crown shaping well.
In landscape design:
The common almond is a perfect choice for decorative compositions. It looks stunning in solitary plantings, stands out beautifully against conifers and early-flowering shrubs, and pairs harmoniously with tulips and daffodils. During its blooming period, it becomes the main highlight of the garden, bringing an atmosphere of tenderness and spring awakening.
