Worth knowing for nature lovers
Bitter almonds should not be consumed in the raw state due to their high histamine content. Prunus dulcis var. Amara, as well as the Prunus x amygdalopersica flourish primarily along German wine roads.
Lovers of the lovely almond blossom are fond of planting the ornamental almond Prunus triloba in their native garden. In spring, it impresses in a delicate, pink tone.
Tips & Tricks
Southern varieties also thrive in our vineyards. Young plants should spend the winter indoors. From the third or fourth year they can stay outdoors.
