Well that’s good to know.Thanks.

Now, do you know: We planted what was labeled as almonds. The fruit now looks like peaches. Is that normal for the almond tree to have fruit that looks like peaches?

Here’s the one I was thinking of:

An Almond has a outer husk that pops open later in the season and a inner shell that you have to crack. How big are the peach/almond thingies?

Sounds like a Halls Hardy Almond, that some are saying is a cross between an almond and a peach, with peach-like fruits.

Also many claim that the almonds are good, if a bit small and nearly impossible to crack without destroying the kernel in the process.

It apparently was developed in Russia, and I would guess that it is descended (by this almond’s description) from the Russian Almond, Prunus tenella, sold as a “conservation tree” by the Farm Service Agency.
