Re: Almond Tree Seeds



Lee,
These leaves have no almond odour at all, rather a spiced scent that
makes me think of tea. I think the 'almond' in the popular name refers
to the shape, not the smell. Either that, or my nose is disfunctional
and I'm about to put the kettle on to make a cup of cyanide-scented
blackwater...
