How Do You Grow Almond Trees Australia?
Almond trees, known botanically as Prunus dulcis and Prunus dulcis var. amara, are deciduous, nut-bearing trees that are indigenous to the Middle East. Requiring a climate with mild winters and warm, dry summers, almond trees are extremely well-suited for growing in Australia. Almond trees can grow up to 40 feet tall and feature a pleasant V-shaped structure that makes an attractive addition to Australian gardens and home landscapes. For best results, plant your almond trees in the fall or winter. Purchase two healthy looking almond trees from a local garden center or nursery. Choose Prunus dulcis almond trees if you want a crop of sweet almonds or Prunus dulcis var. amara almond trees if you prefer bitter almonds. Select planting locations that offer six to eight hours of full sunlight daily. Plant in spots that provide fertile, well-draining soil. Make sure the planting sites are large enough to accommodate mature almond trees, which can grow up to 40 feet tall. Spread a 3-inch layer
