משפחת הורדניים Rosaceae

עץ נשיר, שוקד לפרוח ראשון מבין העצי הפרי הנשירים. פריחתו מסמלת את תחילת סיום ימות הקור. סמל לטייו בשבט, סמל לשקידה במשלי* ובחזון ירמיהו**

Amygdolus commnis
The first deciduous tree to bloom, in the late winter. Tu’ bishvat, the Jewish nature holiday, is celebrated on the date when the almond typically flowers. This date together with the almond flower symbolizes the beginning of the warming trend of the year.

** "ואומר: מקל שקד אני רואה. ויאמר ה’ אלי: היטבת לראות כי שוקד אני על דברי לעשותו - ירמיהו אי, י"א-י"ב
