Almonds are a stunted tree. He has a short trunk up to 3 m, a wide crown with thin leaves. Flowers, depending on the variety, are terry or simple of five petals. Their color is from pale pink to bright saturated. You can form as you wish, they usually do this from the third year, they tolerate pruning well.

Planting is desirable on a small hill, as the roots do not like excess moisture. A pit for a seedling about half a meter in width and depth is completely freed from the soil, falling asleep with a mixture of sand, earth with leaves and compost and adding a couple of shovels of wood ash. The distance between the seedlings must be maintained about 1.5-2 m. Subsequently, care consists in regular watering, top dressing and loosening of soil around the trunk to a depth of 5-10 cm.

• proper watering;
• timely top dressing;
• pruning unnecessary shoots without ovaries.

To get a crop, 2-3 seedlings of different varieties are planted. Planted after cuttings begin to bear fruit earlier than propagated by other methods (processes, seeds).
