Almond trees might not be your first thought when looking for plants to grow in containers, but these spring-blooming trees deserve more attention. Even in small and compact spaces, it is possible to enjoy a harvest of nutritious almonds.
Almond trees, or Prunus dulcis, typically bloom in late winter or early spring, and similar to their cherry tree cousins, produce masses of pink or white flowers that have a delicate fragrance. Not only do they look spectacular when grown in pots, but they will also prove popular with early-to-rise pollinators.
