Prunus Glandulosa​, or dwarf flowering almond, is a spring-blooming shrub with pink double blossoms. They typically grow only 4 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide. This flowering almond is relatively tolerant of urban conditions, making it one of the most accessible trees for care. Now, I'll give you further details about caring for Prunus Glandulosa. See below!

• Soil

  Prunus Glandulosa is tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions. Whether you use sandy or clay soil, it will thrive ideally! However, excessive wet soil can damage the plant. Besides, this flower also blooms well in slightly more acidic or alkaline soils.

  

• Light

  This flowering almond tree does best in full sun to partial shade. You can give at least four to five hours of sun each day. Additionally, you must ensure they get enough direct sunlight if you live in a colder region.

• Water

  Water these flowering almond trees based on growth stage, weather, and soil conditions. You can water them for a month until fall or in the summer. Keep the soil moist but not wet! Moreover, stop watering in autumn and winter to prevent them from frost damage.

• Fertilizer and Pruning

  These shrubs are best fertilized with a layer of compost spread over the root zone in late spring when they finish flowering. FYI, this plant can be sculpted into a specific shape with proper pruning. Please remember that light pruning helps promote better flowering the following year.

  

• Propagating

  Flowering almond shrubs reproduce from new softwood cuttings in early summer or spring. Since these flowers are large, planting them in the ground is better to give them ample room to grow. Otherwise, you can use a sizeable growing pot with a top drainage system.

Conclusion

Caring for Prunus Glandulosa is easy, especially when you live in a place with accessible direct sunlight. They have only one problem: the soil. Prunus Glandulosa may sign some diseases like powdery mildew, root rot, and leaf spot. All of them occur typically with one main reason. It is because the soil doesn't dry well. So, having an excellent drainage system before having the Prunus Glandulosa is better.
