Narrative

Type = Almond. Per USDA Bulletin 1282, Almond Varieties in the United States, pg. 93-95: "Undoubtedly a seedling originated in the Oakley district of California. The variety has been grown in the section for a number of years, plantings having been made since 1910. It bears well and is much better suited in the district than the I.X.L. It is not grown commericially elsewhere. In the Oakley district this variety is called the Long I.X.L., while the true I.X.L. is frequently referred to as the Short I.X.L. Tree: Medium upright (ratio of height of head to width, 1:1), branches somewhat spreading, rather vigorous grower. Main branches - Somewhat upright, rather long, medium stocky. Twigs - Long, vigorous, stocky, straight, rigid. Lenticels - Variable in size. Foliage - Rather dense. Blade - Average size slightly above medium (1 by 3 inches, varies from 7/8 by 2 to 1 1/4 by 3 1/2 inches; ratio of width to length, about 1:3. Shape ovate, some ovate-elliptical. Petiole - Varies in length (average about medium for size of blade, 7/8 inch; ratio of length of petiole to length of blade, about 2:7). Glands two to four, usually two, small, globular, yellowish. Bearing habit - On spurs, mostly on wood 1 to 3 years old. Nut: Immature nut - Medium in size. Shape long ovate, more like Nonpareil than like I.X.L. Hull - Inner surface turns yellowish and finally dark brown after dehiscing for a time. Ripens Aug. 1 to 21. Shape: Ovate; rather flatt to slightly plump. Shell - Soft; usually rather dark brown. Kernel - Very few doubles. Smaller than I.X.L. and longer, but resembles it much. Size medium (1 by 9/16 by 1/4 inch). Shape flat, and wrinkles much upon drying."
