Precious Apricot Tree

Precious Apricot Tree

An apricot with great potential for us here in the PNW, it is famously cold hardy, having been discovered in Southern Ontario, and thought to be a seedling from a Russian seed source from the early 1900’s. It is an especially valuable variety for us because it is late flowering and often produces even in years when most other varieties do not. Fruits are on the smaller side but with excellent flavor and an edible pit.

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.
