Hi all,

I puchased what I thought was a Dwarf cherry tree 5 years ago. It has long purple leaves like a cherry and flowered pink in the Spring. Last year it started producing what I can describe as a peach like fruit in between a peach and a cherry although it has sofy hairs like a peach and what I thought was a large stone. This year I decided to phone the place where I got it and at 18 feet they decided it was not a dwarf and when I descried the fruit they said it may be an almond by mistake? I took one of the fruits and am presming they are immature but when I broke the 'stone' it had what looks like a nut inside but it was in 2 halfs?

I googled almond trees and the fruit this produces does look like an almond tree but the leaves are more purple than I hav seen in any of the pcitures.

I would love it if it was an almond but didnt want to eat anything unless the tree was correctly identified.

ANy help is appreciated
