Almonds prefer a Mediterranean climate but Robijn has been developed for northern European growing conditions. It flowers a bit later than other almonds (but still very early in the spring) and the blossom has some frost resistance.
All pot-grown trees are suitable for planting out in the garden, some are suitable for growing in containers.

Delivery for a single tree starts at £9.95, it is calculated based on your postcode.
Plant in the sunniest and most sheltered spot you can find. Robijn is self-fertile so no pollinator is required. However cropping will be better if there are other almond trees (of the same or different varieties) nearby.
Robijn is reasonably resistant to leaf-curl.
Robijn is moderately vigorous and will reach a height of 3m-4m after about 10 years. Cropping usually starts when the tree is about 3 years old.
As with plum trees (to which almonds are related) it is best to keep pruning to an absolute minimum.
