Discover the captivating beauty of Prunus triloba, commonly known as Flowering Almond or Flowering Plum. This striking deciduous shrub or small tree from the Rosaceae family graces gardens with its charming presence, reaching an impressive height and spread of 10 to 15 feet. With a bloom time in April, this exquisite plant showcases a magnificent display of showy, pink blossoms that not only attract birds and butterflies but also captivate the human eye.

Ideal for USDA Zones 3 to 7, Flowering Almond thrives in moist, fertile, well-drained loams, requiring full sun to part shade for optimal flowering. It serves as a beautiful ornamental addition, whether as a standalone specimen, part of a small group, or as a flowering hedge. Regular pruning is essential to maintain its attractive form.

After its picturesque spring bloom, Flowering Almond produces small red fruit that squirrels find irresistible. Its coarse, medium green leaves transition to a lovely yellow in the fall, adding seasonal appeal. While it may face challenges from frost and pests, its charm and versatility make it a beloved choice for ornamental gardens.
