Description
The Blenheim Apricot or Blenheim Royal is an old favorite that sets the standard for apricots. The juicy, orange fruit is noted for its sweet aromatic flavor. This free-stone apricot is famous in California for its canning quality. Blenheim apricots are also good for drying, fresh eating and juicing.
These apricots are known to have a complex yet perfectly balanced sweet-tart flavor with notes of honeysuckle and honey.
The Blenheim Apricot tree is among the earliest to bloom with fruit ripening mid-season. The Blenheim needs warm, dry weather during bloom. This variety requires low chill hours and is good choice for milder climates. The Blenheim Apricot is self-pollinating.
