Care

Flowering Almond Care

Provide full sun to partial shade. Too much shade will result in fewer blooms. Partial (afternoon) shade may be beneficial when growing in hotter climates.

Fertilization is suggested, especially if soil is poor. Our slow release fertilizer is a great option.

Naturally grows in a rounded, bushy form. Pruning is minimal but may be done after flowering to maintain shape and promote new growth. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can reduce flowering.

Water regularly, especially after planting and during dry periods. Aim to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

This shrub prefers well-draining soil.

Space 3' apart at a minimum.
