Marcone
Spain
Vineyard peach and hawthorn
Mid-September
The Marconi almond is regarded as the "Queen of Almonds," originating from the Alicante province, with a small, early growth habit. It is highly valued in the nougat and chocolate industry, as well as for confectionery, snacks, and baked goods. Roasted or spiced almonds also make an excellent appetizer, adding extra quality.
The kernel has a pleasant taste with the characteristic almond aroma.
The nut is medium-sized, elliptical, flattened to round, with a moderately hard shell. The kernel is short and round, averaging 1.25–1.30 grams, with a fill rate of 39%. There are no double kernels. Marconi almonds are known for being softer and sweeter than Californian varieties; the hard shell separates from the inner shell containing the kernel, which is rich in oils when mature.
Self-pollinating.
Has low tolerance to cold temperatures but withstands dry periods well. Sensitive to early frosts.
You can purchase seedlings of Almond Marconi at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
