Almond
(Prunus dulcis)
Almonds are not only one of the most tasty and nutritious nuts around, they also make for very attractive, medium sized trees that are prized for their profuse, pinkish-white, fragrant flowers. Almonds have been difficult to grow in many colder regions of the U.S. because their early blooms are hurt by frost. However, these new varieties were developed by the Nikita Botanic Garden in Yalta, Ukraine to bloom much later than usual - at about the same time as peaches - avoiding damage from late frosts. If you can grow peaches, you can grow these varieties of almonds!
