Shrub or small tree from the subgenus Almond (Amygdalus) of the genus Plum. Paper almonds are resistant to spring frosts. Reaches a height of 4-5 m. The surface is very hilly. The pubescence is short and velvety. The pericarp pulp is very hard and dry.

Blooms in late March - early April. The flowers are white, the edges of the petals are crimson, 3 cm in diameter. The fruits are large, 4 cm long, with a papery shell. The kernels are light brown, rough, less often wrinkled or smooth, and taste sweet.

This almond variety has a very thin shell, hence its name - Paper. The biggest advantage of this variety is that it has a higher kernel to shell ratio than other almond varieties. It begins to bear fruit in 4-5 years. Paper almonds are one of the sweetest and most delicious types of nuts.

Requires cross-pollination, preferably with other varieties. Withstands frosts down to -29 degrees.

It grows well and bears fruit on light clays and loams, as well as on ordinary, carbonate and leached chernozems. High lime content in the soil or subsoil indicates its suitability for an almond orchard. They all need to be well aerated, so moist, acidic and saline clay soils are completely unsuitable.

USDA Hardiness Zone: 5 (-29°C to -23°C).
