The first breath of spring
Widespread across the Maghreb, the Almond flowers as early as January–February, often before the last cold spells, offering one of the most awaited sights of the Tunisian countryside.
Hardy and frugal with water, it thrives in dry, stony soils and yields almonds in summer, harvested once the green hull has dried.
"The almond blossoms while winter still holds — that is its promise."
