Technical details:
Botanical name: Prunus dulcis (syn. Amygdalus communis)
Seed quantity: 10 carefully selected almond seeds
Plant type and cultivation cycle: Perennial fruit tree, long-lived and productive for many years.
Plant height: Typically reaches 4-10 meters, variable depending on pruning and growing conditions.
Uses: Production of sweet almonds for fresh consumption, confectionery, oil, and flour; excellent ornamental tree due to its early and abundant flowering; a striking landscape feature.
Tasting Notes: White or slightly pink flowers, delicately scented, appear before the leaves in spring. The fruits are drupes with a velvety exocarp and a fleshy mesocarp that splits open at maturity, revealing a woody endocarp (shell) enclosing the seed (the almond). Almonds are characterized by a sweet flavor, a crunchy texture, and high nutritional value.
Hardiness and Origin: A tenacious plant, well adapted to Mediterranean climates, it tolerates periods of drought once established. Historically native to Western and Central Asia.
Sowing period: Ideal in autumn to allow natural stratification, or in spring after an adequate artificial cold stratification process.
Harvest period: Generally between late August and September, when the outer shell cracks and the almonds begin to fall.
Optimal conditions for germination: Requires a period of cold, moist stratification (about 60-90 days at 2-5°C) to overcome dormancy and stimulate effective germination.
Soil type: Prefers light, well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Tolerant of a variety of soil types, as long as it doesn't stagnate.
Recommended exposure: Full sun for at least 6-8 hours a day is essential for abundant flowering and good fruiting.
Germination times: After stratification, germination can occur within a few weeks, but can vary.
Pot or open ground cultivation: It is possible to start growing in pots for the first few years, but for optimal development and significant production, open ground is the recommended solution.
Quality Specifications: Non-GMO (not genetically modified) seeds with high germination, to guarantee maximum success in your cultivation.
