Apart from its pleasant and unique taste, the almond fruit stands out as the only fruit that’s referred to simply as “fruit” by the majority in Nigeria. People were unable to obtain the true name of the fruit, therefore they settled for the moniker "fruit." The name is an attempt to avoid being wrong since it is, undeniably, a fruit. The almond is a deciduous tree growing to 3–4.5 metres (10–15 feet) in height, with a trunk of up to 30 centimetres (12 inches) in diameter. The young twigs are green at first, becoming purplish where exposed to sunlight, then gray in their second year. The leaves are 8–13 cm (3–5 in) long,with a serrated margin and a 2.5 cm (1 in) petiole.
