20 Seeds Almond Tree Prunus dulcis Flowering Nut Tree
Almond Tree (Prunus dulcis) is a deciduous flowering tree grown for its ornamental spring blossoms and its edible almond kernels. It brings a elegant look to home orchards and gardens, valued for its early seasonal display and productive harvest.
In suitable climates, the tree produces pale pink to white blossoms in early spring, followed by almonds that mature in late summer to early autumn. It works well as a specimen or small orchard tree where winters are mild and frost risk at bloom time is low. Almonds are commonly used in baking, snacking, and both sweet and savory cooking.
