    Robijn

    Robijn is listed in the RHS Plants for Pollinators
    • Self-fertility: Self-fertile

    Almonds prefer a Mediterranean climate but Robijn has been developed for northern European growing conditions. Even so, for best results, train the tree as a fan across a warm south-facing wall in full sun.

    Robijn also has very attractive dark pink blossom in the spring.

    Growing and Training

    Robijn is reasonably resistant to leaf-curl, but if you train the tree as a fan you can help to protect it from this infection by covering it with horticultural fleece in the winter.

    Cropping usually starts when the tree is about 3-4 years old.

    As with peach trees (to which almonds are closely related) it is best to keep pruning to an absolute minimum.
