About
Indian Almond is a common street tree and garden plant in tropical areas. This species features a beautiful posture and a broad, umbrella-shaped crown, with branches that spread in an orderly manner, forming distinctive layers. Its emerald green leaves turn to orange-red and purplish-red before shedding in autumn and winter, showcasing clear seasonal variation and providing an alternative "autumn foliage" for viewing.
