A new and distinct variety of almond tree that is somewhat similar to the `Carmel` and `Nonpariel` varieties, but is distinguished therefrom in being slightly darker in color than the `Carmel` and in having a larger kernel than the `Nonpariel`. In addition, the fruit is produced several days after both `Carmel` and `Nonpariel` varieties. The fruit is of medium size and has a soft shell. This new invention has a good flavor and is free from an unusual number of doubles (kernels in the shell).
