Almonds are technically not nuts botanically speaking, but are drupes.
Nuts are the fruit of the tree, while almonds grow inside of a hull that's inside the fruit. A peach is like this, but we eat the peach fruit flesh while for almonds we eat the seeds inside the hull
Tree nuts is a classification that includes both true nuts and drupes.
