The world of almonds
Almonds are a stone fruit, native to Asia. It is one of the oldest of the oil seeds. Its closest relative is the peach, while its more distant relatives are the plum and the apricot. Almonds can grow into quite large trees under favourable conditions. It grows a strong, often thick trunk, with a crown that is prone to thickening. The tree can grow to a height of 6-8 metres in good soil and with proper care, and the crown can reach a diameter of 4-8 metres. The species has an unrivalled hardiness and will also grow on sun-baked, dry, rocky slopes. It grows as a shrub in less than ideal environments.
Domestic almonds
Its cultivation in Hungary began in the late 19th century. Peach trees were planted in place of the vines that had died out due to phylloxera, but almonds were also planted. The second major wave of planting took place in the 1930s, with Hungarian varieties already bred. Its best growing areas are the southern hillsides with Mediterranean influences, and conditions are ideal in Baranya, the Balaton highlands, Vértesalján, the Buda area and the Mátraalja region.
