Almond 'Robijn' - 1 Bare Root Almond Tree

Product Description

This compact nut tree is well worth growing for the blooms alone&33; A showy display of pale pink spring blossom is followed by soft shelled, sweet almonds that can be harvested from late August. Almond Robijn is reassuringly hardy, but will need a frost free winter & a warm dry summer in order to produce a crop. In such conditions, you can look forward to your first harvest just 3 years from planting. This modern variety shows good resistance to peach leaf curl. Grafted onto a semi dwarfing St Julian rootstock, Almond Robijn remains neat & compact, forming a medium sized spreading tree that makes a lovely patio centrepiece. Although self fertile, pollination can be greatly enhanced if a second almond tree is planted close by. This variety is grafted onto a peach rootstock. It is recommended to avoid planting near peaches as hybridisation may occur resulting in bitter nuts. Height & spread: 3.5m &40;11&41;.
