    My neighbor in the country claims that in our region you can grow almonds, and gave me its appendix in a pot. What place should he choose in the garden and how to care for it?

      - two completely different species can grow in the middle lane: low almonds, or bobovnik (Prunus tenella), and triloba almonds — three-lobed plum (P. triloba). Which one you got, determine during the cultivation. Land in the open ground (transship with a lump of land) in April.
      The first view is a bush (about 1 m), similar to a “ball on a leg”, since its lower part is exposed. The seeds of its fruits are edible and tasty.
      He needs a sunny place, moist, nutritious clay soil. Not afraid of either frost or drought. It grows quickly, since the 3-year-old has a lot of root shoots that can be used for reproduction. However, its abundance prevents the formation of fruits - sprouts from the roots should be regularly removed, leaving some of the strongest offspring. Flowering begins in the 3-5th year. Immediately after it, you can feed the bush with full mineral fertilizer (1 tbsp. Azofoski per 10 liters of water).
      The second is a type of plum, a purely ornamental plant, especially its form of captivity. Last year's branches, before blooming, are covered with double flowers. They are sterile and do not form seeds. Flowering lasts more than two weeks and is not inferior in beauty to Japanese sakura.

      If the plant is grafted, in the middle lane it needs to be covered. And if the seedling is taken from a root bush that has adapted to the conditions, then it hibernates without shelter.
      They are planted in sunny places protected from the wind, but not in drafts or in lowlands. He loves fertile, loose soil, in spring needs complete mineral fertilizer, and in autumn - in ash.
      On this almond loves to settle aphids. I spray it on the “Healthy Garden” (6 grains / l of water). Since this is an inedible plant, it can also be treated with the chemical product “Perimore” - special against aphids.
