Prunus Fasciculata

Design with this plant

Overview

Prunus fasciculata, the Desert Range Almond, is a hardy shrub native to arid terrains, growing up to 10-12 feet tall with a similar spread. Celebrated for its drought tolerance, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. Spring welcomes clusters of fragrant white-pink blossoms, giving way to small, inedible nuts. Its compact form and minimal water requirements make it ideal for xeriscapes and low-maintenance desert gardens.
