The Chinese Apricot Tree is an early bearing, heavy producing variety that is recommended for difficult climates (especially those prone to late spring frosts). It blooms late and is also one of the earliest ripening fruits, making this tree ideal for more northern and high-elevation regions.
The fruit has a tender, yellow to light orange flesh that is full of flavor — Chinese Apricot fruit is of superb quality, and generally freestone, making it easy to use in canning, drying, or in baked goods.
Chinese Apricot fruit ripens in early July. This is a self-pollinating variety.
