Prunus amygdalus var. dulcis is a rapidly growing deciduous tree up to 6-8 m tall. It has a knotty and twisted trunk with dark and fissured bark in adult specimens. The lanceolate leaves with serrated edges are light green. In late winter, before the leaves appear, it produces numerous white flowers, followed by fruits with greenish and velvety skin which are the famous almonds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e Pedoclimatic requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e \nIt prefers deep and well-drained soils but can also tolerate dry and stony soils as long as they are not too superficial. A partially rustic species, it tolerates not too intense and prolonged frosts up to -7°\/-9°. Being very early in flowering, it fears late winter frosts which affect its fruiting. Widely used for fruit production, it is also widely used as an ornamental species for its beautiful shape and magnificent flowering. It is also widely planted for beekeeping as a melliferous species. Very resistant to drought, it is ideal for gardens without water.\n\u003ch3\u003e Botanical Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Botanical Name: Prunus amygdalus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Family: Rosaceae\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vivai Mola della Badia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47009527333188,"sku":"ART836-A40_PRAM","price":4.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/5597\/1140\/files\/prunus-dulcis-780x520.webp?v=1696911246","url":"https:\/\/vivaimdb.it\/en\/products\/prunus-amygdalus-mandorlo-alveolo-forestale","provider":"Vivai Mola della Badia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
