Noteworthy Characteristics

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. Pink to white, single or double, cherry-like flowers (1/2”) bloom in mid-spring (April) along the stems. Flowers are followed by subglobose dark red fruits (3/8” in diameter). Pointed, serrulate, oblong leaves (to 4” long) are light green. No fall color.

Genus name from Latin means plum or cherry tree.

'Sinensis' is noted for its double pink flowers (each to 1 1/ 4” diameter) and shiny green foliage. Synonymous with and commonly sold as ‘Rosea Plena’.
