Almond tree (Kahl)

Abstract

The present invention relates to an almond tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium size, vigorous, upright, hardy, very productive, and regular bearing tree whose nuts mature under the ecological conditions described approximately the third week in September. The nuts are very well sealed to protect kernels that are uniformly large in size, brown in color, and flat in shape.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of almond tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which is most similar to the Carmel (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,641) by being an early blooming variety that abundantly produces large, flat kernels that harvest after Nonpareil, but is distinguished therefrom and an improvement thereon by appearing to be free of budfailure, by being a much larger and more vigorous tree, by harvesting one week earlier, and by having a pink blossom instead of white.
