they get to be 15 feet tall and look like a peach tree, in fact it may be a cross of a almond tree and a peach tree. it has a slight bitter flavor but its not bad and plus if you boil the nuts before you roast them it takes the bitterness away. it is as good of a almond tree as you can get in utah. i am zone 5 but i have heard of them being grown in zone 4. i love them for sure. that picture is purslane for sure. its flavor is described as a little spicy but not too much. it is very good for you. if you serve it to other people just don't tell them some people call it a weed, i have made a salad called fatosh and it is the main ingredient and people tell me they love it but when they are told some call it a weed thy make an odd face so its best to call it purslane lol
