Unlike the familiar almond tree, it grows as a low, spreading shrub and is particularly well adapted to cold, dry continental climates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe shrub typically grows about 3–5 feet (1–1.5 meters) tall and can spread wider than it is tall. It develops numerous slender, upright-to-arching branches that form a dense, rounded appearance. Its small, narrow green leaves emerge around spring and turn yellowish in autumn before falling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne of its most attractive features is its early spring flowering. Pink to rosy-pink flowers appear singly or in pairs, often before or around the emergence of the leaves. The blossoms resemble miniature almond or peach flowers and can provide a striking display along the branches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrunus tenella is native to parts of Eastern Europe, Russia, and Central Asia, where it commonly occurs in open steppe, dry grasslands, rocky slopes, forest-steppe, and shrublands. It favors full sun, well-drained soils, and relatively dry conditions, and its natural habitat reflects its strong tolerance of cold, drought, and poor soils.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn cultivation, Dwarf Russian Almond is valued as a hardy ornamental shrub for rock gardens, borders, slopes, and naturalistic landscapes. Its compact size, attractive early-spring flowers, cold tolerance, and ability to withstand dry conditions make it an appealing alternative for gardeners seeking the look of almond blossoms without growing a full-sized almond tree.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MySeedsCo","offers":[{"title":"Trial Packet Size (~ 5 Seeds)","offer_id":47696247849153,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 oz (~ 30 Seeds)","offer_id":50562453962945,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 LB (~ 125 Seeds)","offer_id":50562453831873,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 LB (~ 250 Seeds)","offer_id":50562453864641,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 LB (~ 500 Seeds)","offer_id":50562453897409,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0540\/1162\/5665\/files\/6749167696.jpg?v=1788552263","url":"https:\/\/www.myseeds.co\/products\/prunus-tenella-dwarf-russian-almond-russian-almond","provider":"MySeedsCo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
