The Texas Mission almond is a small, pretty tree with spreading, rounded canopy, and long, narrow, dark green leaves. Spring brings beautiful pinkish-white flowers followed by green fruit that turns into brown shells containing almonds; medium-sized and flavourful. It prefers deep, well-drained soils and long, rainless, hot summers with low humidity. The almonds are harvested in late summer to early fall.
