Almonds Plants

Almond trees are a beautiful and productive addition to any home orchard, offering the perfect blend of ornamental charm and practical bounty. These deciduous trees are most celebrated for their early spring blossoms—masses of soft pink to white flowers that cover bare branches before the leaves emerge, creating a breathtaking display that signals the end of winter. Following this striking floral show, the tree produces fuzzy green hulls that eventually split open to reveal the hard shells of mature almonds by late summer to early fall. Inside, you'll find the rich, flavorful almond nut – a highly nutritious snack loaded with healthy fats, protein, fiber, and vitamin E. Almond trees typically grow to a height of 15 to 30 feet and develop a broad, rounded canopy that provides moderate shade and adds structure to garden landscapes. They thrive in warm, dry climates and perform best in full sun with deep, well-draining soil. Ideal for USDA hardiness zones 7 through 9, almond trees require hot summers and mild, wet winters to flourish
