Prunus dulics, or Sweet Almond, is a large, dense, multi-stemmed deciduous shrub or small, rounded tree of upright, spreading habit, twisted, fissured trunk, and oblong, toothed, green leaves, yellow and orange in autumn. Fragrant, 5-petal, light pink to white flowers bloom in spring, before the leaves emerge, and are followed by velvety green fruit containing edible nuts. Prunus dulics is best grown in deep, fertile, loamy, moist, well-drained soil in full sun. It is adaptable to sandy soils, but doesn’t like heavy clays. It thrives in hot, dry locations with low humidity and mild winters. Frost may damage the flower buds. The plant is self-fertile, but two or more cultivars are needed for best cross pollination. Sweet Almond is an attractive ornamental flowering shrub or tree but is mostly grown for its nuts. Almond nuts are used raw or fresh, in cooking, baking, and a variety of products such as candies, oils, etc. Commercially grown.
