Sweet Almond Trees
Fruit Trees, Nut Trees and Fruit BushesIf you are going to plant a tree or bush, then it is going to be there for some years. So it's well worth spending some time looking at the different varieties and going for something that will be productive and providing you with a good crop in years to come. Time spent to prepare the ground properly will repay you many times over. Almond - Sweet Almond MandalinePretty blossom, delicious nuts A sweet almond that is truly adapted to our British climate! Mandaline comes from the latest breeding program in France and does not flower until mid April when most of the harsher weather has passed. The delicious nuts, which fall from the tree through autumn, are soft shelled and much easier to crack than some. Trees are self-fertile. Will be despatched in November 2009, weather permitting; alternatively despatch will be February/March 2010. Price: £24.95 More Information from Suttons Seeds Almond RobijnRobijn is a sweet Almond produced on a very ornamental tree bearing showy, light pink blossom in spring which may need protecting from frost. Grafted on a peach seedling rootstock so it is advised not to plant near peaches as hybridisation may occur resulting in bitter nuts. Very resistant to peach leaf curl. Self fertile.
