Prunus trichamygdalus is a wild almond tree from eastern Anatolia and nearby Iran, closely related to the cultivated almond. It grows on dry limestone slopes and is grown for its pink spring blossom and, in non-bitter forms, its nuts.
Prunus trichamygdalus (Persian: بادام مخملی, lit. 'velvet almond') is a putative species of "wild" almond tree native to eastern Anatolia in Turkey, and nearby areas of Iran (possibly introduced). Molecular and morphological analyses show that is very similar to Prunus dulcis, the cultivated almond, differing in its shorter petioles and smaller leaves with more numerous crenulations. Its flowers are pink, and its fruits green. Non-bitter forms may be cultivated, but its native range is restricted to elevations of 1250-2100 m on limestone slopes and gorges in the Lake Van area.
