Prunus dulcis. Bonsai 7 years. Almond tree

Prunus dulcis. Bonsai 7 years. Almond tree. These are trees that, by nature, must be placed outside, ideal for balconies, gardens and terraces. Prunus dulcis, commonly known as almond tree, is a species belonging to the Rosaceae family, very characteristic for its early flowering. The trunk is rarely straight, with an ash-coloured bark that cracks and darkens over time. Its white flowering with pinkish tones occurs long before the leaves appear, at the beginning of winter.

Location: Outside in a Mediterranean climate the whole year and exposed to the sun but better place it in half-shadow during summer.

Watering: Abundant in summer and moderate in winter.

Curiosities: Almond fruits have been found in Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt.

Dimensions in centimetres approx. (width x depth x height): 34 x 28 x 37

Note: The shape and measurements of the bonsais are approximate. The pot is included on the dimensions. The colour and shape of the pot may vary from that of the photo. A bonsai is a living being, so the vegetative state of the plant changes according to the season. The images that appear are non-binding illustrative pictures.
