Tropical almond is a large deciduous stately tree, originally from India, growing up to 90 feet tall with horizontal whorls of branches offering clusters of foot long; obviate leaves that turn pink-red to red – yellow before falling. It has large (2 – 3 inches) nutty fruits that taste very much like commercially grown almonds.
