Prunus glandulosa, commonly called dwarf flowering almond, is a small, multi-stemmed shrub that typically grows to 4-5’ tall and spreads to 3-4’ wide. It has thin stems and an irregular form. Over time, it may open up and appear cosmetically unkempt, particularly if not pruned. Double pink, cherry-like flowers (1/2”) bloom in mid-spring along the stems. Light green glossy foliage. No fall color. Susceptible to a large number of potential insect and disease pests, often resulting in an abbreviated life span of less than 10 years.

Best grown in moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Tolerates urban conditions. Tolerates some droughty conditions. Good soil drainage is essential. An annual pruning immediately after flowering will encourage growth of new stems for better bloom the following year. Promptly remove root suckers unless naturalization is desired.
