Almond tree

Abstract

An almond tree which is large, dense, vigorous, robust, and extremely bushy with a stocky trunk, spreading with slender branches, abundantly foliated with large, ovate, acutely pointed, glossy leaves darker green than average, blooms heavily with white, pink-centered flowers, and is a regular and very heavy producer of large, medium brown, well distributed nuts having a large, medium brown kernel.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of almond tree, substantially as illustrated and described, particularly characterized by a tree which is vigorous, robust, and extremely bushy; by time-retention of green leaf color--darker than average--beyond normal expectancy, and--in comparison to the Nonpareil--by heavier crops of nuts whose kernels are slightly lighter in color and of larger size.
