The Double Pink Flowering Almond (Standard Form) is a small ornamental tree prized for its profusion of double pink blooms in early spring. Grafted onto a standard trunk, this tree typically reaches 6 to 8 feet tall at maturity with a rounded canopy spreading about 4 feet wide.
With a clear trunk height of approximately 3 to 4 feet, it offers an elegant, airy appearance — perfect for planting under power lines or as a standout accent in smaller landscapes. It grows at a moderate rate and can live for around 20 years in ideal conditions.
Best planted in full sun, it prefers average to evenly moist soil and won’t tolerate soggy roots. It’s not picky about soil type or pH and handles urban pollution well, making it a great choice for city gardens. This is a cultivated variety of a non-native species.
