Flowering of almond trees in Andalusia

Spring in winter”: the abundant flowering of a fruit tree and the delicacy of pink flowers. In January and February, almond trees (Prunus dulcis = Prunus amygdaloides) bloom throughout the Mediterranean, especially in the most mountainous and arid areas of Andalusia.

Almond trees in Málaga

The almond trees are very abundant in the province of Malaga and early for its proximity to the milder climate of the coast. Delicate pink and off-white tones that cry out the desire for Life, … that cannot wait for the end of winter to explode!

Mediterranean landscape

They bring beauty and ecological value to Mediterranean landscapes. These hardy trees adapted to the dry climate have become an iconic symbol of the Mediterranean basin. The Serranía de Ronda maintains a traditional and respectful agriculture with the landscape.

Source of nectar for bees

Their early flowering is the first important source of nectar for domestic bees and many other species of hymenopterans, such as carpenter bees, etc. It is entertaining to watch the spectacle of these insects busy foraging on the flowers during the first days of good weather.

Flowering of fruit trees

Fruit trees of the apple family (Rosaceae), with flowers with five large white and pink petals, are characterized by a generally early and very abundant flowering. Almond trees are the first to bloom in the sequence, followed by peaches, apricots, pears, plums and cherries.
