Almond Ingrid – Reliable Fruiting Almond Tree
Almond Ingrid is the most reliable cropping almond variety for UK gardens. This productive tree delivers excellent-quality nuts, pale green with a soft velvety texture and rich flavour, perfect for enjoying fresh or for making almond milk, oil, butter, flour, or paste. In early spring, it bursts into delicate light pink blossom, one of the first to arrive in the season, bringing ornamental value as well as crops. With good resistance to leaf curl and adaptability to most regions, Almond Ingrid is a practical and attractive choice for gardens or orchards.
