Hall’s Hardy Almond

Hall’s Hardy Almond

Hall’s Hardy Almond heralds Spring with a generous perfusion of pale pink flowers, followed by large, hard-shelled, bitter-sweet nuts. This almond is the best adapted cultivar for nut production in the Pacific Northwest.

*Since this variety is a peach and almond hybrid, it is highly recommended to boil almonds to remove any toxins prior to consuming.
