About Prunus dulcis Ferragnes
Prunus dulcis Ferragnes is a popular almond tree known for its reliable yield and large, flavorful almonds. In the spring, the tree blooms profusely with beautiful white-pink flowers, which lend the garden an elegant appearance. After flowering, the almonds develop and can be harvested in the fall. It is a late-blooming variety, making the flowers less susceptible to late night frosts. For good fruit set, this tree needs a pollinator, such as Prunus dulcis ‘Avijor’ or ‘Makako’. It grows best in a sunny, warm, and sheltered location in well-drained, fertile soil. Thanks to the combination of beautiful blooms, edible fruit, and an attractive growth habit, this almond tree is a valuable addition to any garden.
