The almonds are growing!

The almonds are growing more and more every day. Believe it or not only a short two months ago these nuts were flowers. Now they are fast on their way to being an edible almond. Walking through these beautiful orchards the other day I decided to examine them closer for you guys.

What looks like a fuzzy green almond on the tree is the hard hull starting to form. This fuzzy outer layer will soon be the protector to the nut as it develops. The inside, or the fruit, is still a soft gel like formation. This gel like will soon be an almond once all it's cells develop into a harder fruit. The shell will then form between the hull and almond to make another layer of protection for the almond.

Stay tuned as we watch these almond continue to grow!

Until Next Time,
