Plant at the right time
The ideal time to plant the almond tree is late summer. Alternatively, early spring is also a good option, as soon as the soil is frost-free. At this point, the likelihood of hot spells decreases. Young plants are extremely sensitive to stressful drought during the growing season.

For this purpose, the gardener recommends shortening all the shoots slightly. This will limit evaporation from the leaves.
Location
The pink almond tree already blooms in early spring. This happens long before its delicate leaf buttons open. That is why it is very popular among local gardeners.
In general, it is very frost-resistant (down to minus 25 degrees). Nevertheless, the almond tree is very sensitive to spring frosts. For this reason, it is important that the tree is given a protected location in the garden. He particularly values the mild climate of vineyards.
Successful planting in just a few steps:
- Water the root tree heavily (at least 10 minutes in a bucket of water)
- careful removal of pots, nets or grids
- Remove stones or old roots
- Insert the almond tree
- fill up with soil
- The planting depth corresponds to the pot size
- light pouring is recommended
Additional tips depending on the type of soil
- heavy or wet soils: create drainage
- heavy soils: mix in additional sand
- poor soils: enrichment with compost or humus is recommended
Prefer
Alternatively, you can prefer your own almond tree yourself. It is advisable to prefer native species. However, it should be remembered that specially grown almond trees are not hardy.
This also applies to imported plants. For this reason, nurseries offer a wide range of native species or refined varieties. The gardener can play it safe with them. You survive the winter successfully despite the freezing cold.
Transplanting
The almond tree is transplanted exactly at the point in time when species-appropriate planting is possible. The same procedure is recommended for the change of location as for the first planting.
Multiply
Almond trees can be successfully grown yourself from cuttings or untreated almonds.
Substrate
A special Sustrat is recommended for growing almond trees from seeds. It should be well permeable for water and air. It is also characterized by a lack of nutrients. Of course, the substrate should be free of germs or fungal spores.
distance
The distance between the almond tree and the neighbor should be at least 4 meters when planting.
Perfect neighbors
Since young plants are very sensitive to rapid ventilation, perennials or even bushes are ideal neighbors. Ideal neighbors are also grapevines or peach trees.
Tips & Tricks
A particularly abundant flowering usually heralds the successful harvest. This is particularly rich in long, warm summers. The almond harvest succeeds best in the wine-growing regions of Germany.
