Almond tree `SR100`

Abstract

An almond tree which is medium size, open, spreading, and vigorous; abundantly foliated with medium size, acuminate, acutely pointed leaves having a glandular, coarsely serrate margin, a medium length petiole, and medium size, alternate, globose, green glands; blooms very heavily with reddish-pink flowers; and is a regular and heavy bearer of well-distributed nuts borne in thin, tough hulls; the out-of-hull nuts and the out-of-shell kernels being of medium size and oval form.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of almond tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which blooms very heavily with reddish-pink flowers, the bloom being with the Nonpareil, and which tree is a regular and heavy bearer of medium size, oval nuts in harvest after the Nonpareil; the nuts having a minimum of pre-season drop yet shake easily and cleanly from the tree, and having good nut-in-hull retention for harvest.
