Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A.Webb
  • roosõieliste (Rosaceae) sugukonda toompuu (Prunus) perekonda kuuluv heitlehine viljapuu
  • tree of the rose family (Rosaceae)
    Good to know
    • Almond trees are deciduous with a hardy dormancy. Typically growing 3–4.5 metres (10–15 feet) tall, the trees are strikingly beautiful when in flower; they produce fragrant, five-petaled, light pink to white flowers from late January to early April north of the Equator. The flowers are self-incompatible and thus require insect pollinators to facilitate cross-pollination with other cultivars. The growing fruit (a drupe) resembles a peach until it approaches maturity; as it ripens, the leathery outer covering, or hull, splits open, curls outward, and discharges the pit.
Good to know
  • There are two varieties: sweet almond (P. dulcis, variety dulcis) and bitter almond (P. dulcis, variety amara).
