Oh, what variety almond/peach is that? I’ve seen one at Starks but have been too chicken to order it.

Well, I am not too sure. I thing it was called hardy almond. We were looking in the nut tree sections of several catalogs and ordered 2 or 3 which didn’t survive the winter.

So we oredered some more and planted them in another part of the yard and they survived. None of them were advertised as being fruit trees. They were just plain ole hardy almonds.

Hubby came in and said looky here our almond tree has turned into a peach tree. He cut the fruit and found what looked like a fruit pit. Well maybe there was a mixup we thought and they sent us a peach tree?

So I said split the stone pit and she what’s inside, and there it was-an almond nut. That is the extent of what I know. Gonna have to put it on the winter research list.LOL
