The article I referred to is in the Summer 1986 Pomona, by Lon Rombough, and just expands a bit on what he said today.

Hall's Hardy almond is a peach/almond cross with very early showy pink blossoms, shiny green leaves, and a few hundred slightly bitter almonds with thick shells.

He suggests growing the seeds as a hedgerow three to four feet apart in hopes of getting one that blooms later, with better nuts, and the self-fertility of a peach.

I thought that was a good idea back in '86, but I'm still waiting for some nuts to sow.
