Fruit is freestone with golden yellow skin and flesh and has a deep tangy flavor that is perfect for fresh eating or canning. Ripens in early July, self-fertile.
Delectably sweet and tender, fully ripe Apricots are a unique tasty treat. Difficult to ship when ripe, Apricots are best grown at home or purchased from a local farmer. Apricots like half day to full day sun, well-drained soil, and begin bearing in 2-3 years. To help prevent disease problems, spray with copper in fall and again in winter and early spring during dry spells.
