Look at this cute little Hardy Almond growing by the lake in Burlington. Pic was taken May 13.
Hardy Almonds have delightful pale pink flowers in late spring (usually) and don't require a heck of a lot of maintenance. The care I've given this one over the years has basically consisted of keeping the weeds from surrounding the base and throwing down some shredded leaves in the fall. No fertilizer, very little compost. 14th ANNUAL FLYNN GARDEN TOUR IS IN ...BURLINGTON
If you remember, last year's tour was in the Champlain Islands, and was very well received. In 2008 it was South Burlington, and 2007, Essex . Here's the info from the Flynn.
