Planting & Care

An exquisite heritage almond variety introduced to the UK in the 1700s.
Yields top-quality sweet almonds with soft, easy-to-crack shells.
Adorned with delicate pink blossoms during spring.
Ready for harvest in late September.
Self-pollinating, requiring only one tree for a bountiful harvest.
Thrives in full sunlight on a south or west-facing wall.
Reaches a size of 4 x 4 metres but can be pruned to suit any garden.
Almonds can be enjoyed fresh from the tree or used in baking.
Expertly pruned before shipping to encourage robust, well-shaped growth.

Species: Almond
Features: Self fertile
Flowering Time: June, July, August
Harvest Time: June, July, August
Flower Colour: Delicate pink blossom
Sun: Full sun, Partial shade
Position: Full sun
Soil Type: Any fertile, well-drained soil
Hardiness: Fully hardy
Habit: An upright tree with a bushy habit
Eventual Height: 4m
Eventual Spread: Spreads up to 5m unless pruned
Tasting Notes: A very sweet almond
Uses: Eat fresh or use in baking

Planting Time: Can be planted at any time of year.
Pollination: Self-fertile. Does not need a pollination partner, producing good crops from just one tree.
Position: Thrives in full sunlight on a south or west-facing wall, or in a greenhouse or conservatory.
Soil: Prefers fertile, well-draining soil. Can tolerate clay, but improve drainage by mixing in horticultural grit or perlite when planting.
Hardiness: Fully hardy. No winter protection is necessary unless late spring frosts are predicted; in this case, wrap the tree overnight with horticultural fleece to protect the blossom.
Pruning: Prune in winter. After planting, cut the young tree back by one-third to promote a bushy shape. Remove lower branches to create a clear trunk. In subsequent years, prune to maintain a fairly open centre, removing any dead or unproductive wood.
Pest & Disease: Generally disease-free. Can be affected by canker or leaf curl. If leaf curl occurs (blistered, curled leaves), pick off infected leaves as they form in spring. New growth should come through clean by early summer.
