Is a shrub plant of the Rose family (Rosaceae), a species of the Almond subgenus (Amygdalus) of the Plum genus (Prunus). Unlike its close relative, the common almond, has fruits that are not suitable for consumption. Only oil obtained from its seeds can be added to food. It is a deciduous shrub reaching 150 cm in height. Steppe almond is a sprawling one and a half meter shrub with dark green oblong leaves. The plant is thermophilic, and in a warm climate blooms early enough (end of January), in a moderate temperature regime flowers appear later (end of April). The flowers have a rich pink color and a delicate fragrance. The fruits of the almond bean of the steppe ripen in September, and look like a shaggy base with an edible stone inside. The optimal time for planting steppe almonds will be late autumn (but before the onset of cold weather) or mid-spring, when the temperature regime is fully established, and the degrees in the soil are stable at around 12-15. Such a plant will begin to bear fruit by autumn. Steppe almonds are often used as a decorative addition in landscape design. But it is not recommended to plant it with taller plants. However, "little sakura" will beautifully complement the overall picture of flower beds or shrub decorations. Thanks to the early flowering, almonds have time to manifest themselves in full force and allow other plants to show themselves.
