Flowering Almond

Dear Stan;

Can you tell me if the nuts from the Flowering Almond are edible? I have been listening to your radio program for many, many years. Keep up the good work!

Sincerely,

Mabel

Mabel - Most certainly your almond is edible. The family name of the almond is Prunus and the variety is glandulosa which means a single fleshy berry. Botanically the shrub is a cherry. The most common name is prunus trilobata, a plant with leaves in threes or three lobed leaves. Makes great jelly.
