Produced fruit 2nd year. Definitely peachlike. To harvest leave fruit on tree, it will turn green and split and produce a clear sticky sap like fluid. Leave fruit on tree until dried fruit or husk splits open revealing pit (almond shell). Pick split husks and dry in sun for a couple days. Husks will peel from almond quite easily. I let my almonds sit in storage all winter and crack for nut in spring. very hard shell. I live in central new york (apple crops common) Branches droop under weight of fruit and become susceptible to high wind. Difficult to mow lawn below trees. So far, very pest resistant. Will try eating fruit this season. Tasted before and seemed like peach but I wasn't sure if fruit was truly edible. I've read online several opinions that it is edible.  -  Wednesday, January 17, 2007 Nuts!

We have had it six years and this year it has truely had alot of fruit/nuts on it. The fruit around the nuts is an added bonus...taste delicious like peaches....Does anyone know how to get the nut? I assume: eat the fruit; dry the nut; crack it open. Truely a beauty with pink blossoms and lovely fruit. Low maintenance also!!  -  Saturday, October 11, 2008 Hall's Almond Tree Reviewed By: Robert Cook (Sycamore, Ohio) We purchased the halls almond tree two years ago and already have nuts the second year .Showy pink blooms and a delight to see in the spring.Ready to purchase our second tree.  -  Monday, February 16, 2009 Fast grower Reviewed By: Thomas (Locust Grove, Georgia) I bought this tree in 1998. I moved two years later but the tree had grown so big, I was unable to dig it up and take it with me. It grew a multitude of nuts in the second year but I could not figure out how to get the nut out. Still a lovely tree. I frequently drive by the old house, (it's only 4 miles away), just to view the tree. I blooms out beautiful pink every year!
