pretty flower on young almond tree

It’s a very pretty blossom indeed..pity about the almonds, Klahanie.

Don't be defeatist Klahanie. A tree in my old village in middle England did once have a good crop of almonds.But they are worth having just for the flowers...

My cousin grows pecans in Louisiana. He says they must cross pollinate. Maybe that applies to almonds too.

I never saw any other almonds around. Middle England is not famed for long hot summers but we must have had one that year! Bu who cares, the blossom is wonderful...

Lovely to see. Pity there aren't any other almond trees around.

I love both of those nuts. I use walnuts in flapjack and cakes, and like them just as they are too. I've sometimes chopped up hazelnuts and put them in scones.
