The perfect compact growing apricot for growing in a pot or small space, the Pixie-Cot Apricot is a genetically dwarfing apricot that produces delicious white fleshed apricots. A great introduction to the apricot world as it can easily be grown in a pot under the eaves of a house in areas where fungal and bacterial diseases make growing apricots difficult. Also, a relatively late blooming variety that might show promise for growers in the Pacific Northwest.
