Almond tree is a beautiful tree about 5 to 8 meters long. It origin is Central or West Asia, specially Afghanistan or Turkmenistan, but it has been plant in Iran, Ghafghaz, Syria and Palestine since long ago. 
Today, its wild breed exists in China and is assumed that it existed there in 10th or 11th century BC.

Almond leaf is elliptic, sharp and serrated. Its pink flowers grow in spring, before its leaves. Almond fruit is drupe, fleshy and green; it is green and downy when it is fresh, but the fleshy part dries gradually and changes into a dry, thick layer around the seed. 
Almond is elliptic and is tipped at one end. The other tip is round, its length is 2 to 3 cm., its width is 1.5 to 2 cm. and its thickness is 1 cm.
