I got myself an Almond bush a month ago and I've noticed that I should have planted it somewhere else because the location that I planted is full shade. When I got the bush it was semi-covered with flowers and a few weeks after planting it, it was fully covered with flowers. My question is: Does this mean that the flowers will bloom like this next year? Or was it just following it's genetic buildup to flower as much until it realizes that it's not getting enough sun then it will stop flowering as much next spring. Thank you -If moving it is an option: How should I move the bush without killing it? ( It's been in ground for about a month )
Pop it up with a spade or other suitable tool and replant promptly in what you think will be a better spot. Mulch after planting and keep well watered. Find your Sunset Climate Zone using the maps near the front and then check climate suitability. other limitations and requirements in Sunset WESTERN GARDEN BOOK (2007, Sunset Publishing, Menlo Park). Look under Prunus glandulosa and P. triloba on page 567.
