Overview
Russian almond covers itself in pink flowers in early spring, before most of the shelterbelt has woken up. It stays short and suckers into a dense low thicket.
Origin & History
Native to the steppes from southeast Europe to Siberia. A standard low outside row in northern plains plantings.
Fruit & Uses
A low row for trapping snow and stopping wind at ground level. The small, fuzzy, bitter almonds are for wildlife, not for eating.
Growth Habit
Low, upright, suckering shrub, 4 to 6 ft tall.
Spacing
Plant 3 to 4 ft apart. A bundle of 25 covers 75 to 100 ft of row.
Pollination
Bee-pollinated. One of the first shrubs bees work in spring.
Cold hardiness
We rate Russian almond to zone 2, winters to -50°F.
How wholesale orders work
- Bundles can't be split. Sizes under 3 ft. come 25 to a bundle, 3 ft. and taller come 20 to a bundle.
- Price breaks count every Farm & Ranch bundle in your cart, any mix of plants. 4 bundles, 12 bundles and 24 bundles each drop the price on all of them. The discount shows up in your cart on its own.
- Add to your order any time before it ships. Same shipping address, and the bundles count together toward the next price break.
- No cancellations after February 1. Cancel part of an order before then and the rest is priced at the break it still earns.
- If we come up short on a plant, you keep the price break you paid for and we refund the bundles we couldn't send.
- Our dead plant guarantee covers these the same as everything else we sell. A plant that never leafs out its first season gets a credit code for what you paid for it plus its share of the shipping. We can't break a bundle, so credit goes toward a future order, not loose replacement plants.

Shipping restrictions: We cannot ship Russian Almond to Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Rio Grande or Saguache County in Colorado (the San Luis Valley), where plums and most other Prunus are prohibited under a state quarantine. The rest of Colorado is fine. Check your own state and county list before planting.
