Also known as: almond oil plant; sweet almond
Plant in a sunny, sheltered site with moist but well-drained, fertile soil, away from frost pockets. Can be grown as a standard or bush in milder areas, or fan-trained against a south-facing wall; final size will depend on the rootstock used. Almond blossom is very early, so flowers may need protection from frost.
