Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A beautiful ornamental in its own right with its masses of showy pink spring blooms and lush green foliage, it is also a useful tree producing delicious nuts. Eventually becoming a 15-20' rounded tree it bears large almonds with fine flavor (some of the complex bitter almond flavor comes through in these), fuzzy, inedible, green husks split open in September/October to reveal their hidden treasure. These trees are self-fruitful, but produce more when planted in multiples or with 'Texas'; requires 600-800 chill hours. S/M
