Coming soon!

Almond trees, //Amygdalus communis//, were not as frequently grown in Egypt as some other fruit trees. The most ancient evidence of their existence, fruit found in tombs, dates to the New Kingdom.

The fruit of almond trees has been found in tombs, e.g. Tutankhamen's [[|1]], their wood, given the small size of the tree, was not very useful as timber and rarely employed [[|4]]. According to Pliny oil was made from almonds.
