Description
Sweet and small fresh fruit. A wonderful summertime snack when available. Apricots flower early in spring, so they are quite susceptible to frost damage. Expect fruit crops every few years in colder zones. The young trees are wonderful ornamentals because of their delicate leaves and are worth planting for the looks alone.
These trees are seedlings. Generally, apricots and peaches are said to come back 90% similar to their parent trees, and these seeds came from exceptional parentage, so they should produce a great tasting fruit.
These trees would be great candidates to graft improvised varieties onto in a few years.
A lone apricot should produce fruit, however, generally fruit crops are improved with two individuals cross pollinating.
