Plant description:

Almond trees are close relatives of peach trees and need similar cultivation. They are suited to winter-rainfall regions and dry inland areas with cool winters. The nuts are enclosed in a fleshy husk which may split when mature and dry. There are hard-shelled and soft-shelled types. Two varieties are needed for cross-pollination. Prunus dulcis bears fragrant white or pink flowers in Spring and long narrow foliage with finely serrated edges.

Family: Rosaceae
