Plant description

A lovely heritage variety of self-fertile almond, introduced to the UK in the 18th century. Its early white spring flowers are plentiful and boldly raspberry-centred. 'Sultane' requires a warm summer in a sunny, sheltered position, resulting in high-quality sweet almonds with soft shells suitable for making almond milk, oil, butter, flour, or paste.

How to care for almond Sultane:

When planting your almond, prepare a hole up to three times the diameter of its root system. Fork over the base of the pit in readiness, incorporating plenty of organic matter into the backfill and planting hole. Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, trees should be planted out as they arrive. If you've ordered a bare root tree, soak the roots in a bucket of water for half an hour prior to planting, or if this is not possible, they can be heeled in temporarily, covering their roots with soil, or potted up. Protect from cold, drying winds. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support growth and fruiting. Lightly prune in summer to reduce the risk of silver leaf and bacterial canker, to retain an open ‘goblet’ shape and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.

Please note:

This tree is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
