Description
About the Harcot Apricot Tree
Fruit growers rave about the sweet, juicy fruits this versatile tree produces! Hardy and tolerant of many soil types, and self-pollinating, the Harcot Apricot tree is an excellent choice for backyard growers across the country.
The Harcot apricot tree is prized for its attractive appearance as well as its delicious fruit. The leaves are shiny and dark green, while the flowers are white or pale pink and bloom in the spring, providing an attractive display. This apricot tree produces medium-to-large fruit, orange with a red blush that ripen in June-July. Packed with sweet, juicy, rich flavor. Enjoy these delicious firm, free-stone fruits fresh, canned, or baked into your favorite desserts!
Growing Harcot Apricots
The Harcot apricot tree is well-suited to a range of climates and soils, but it prefers well-draining soil and a sunny location. It is also relatively pest and disease-resistant, with good tolerance to bacterial spot and perennial canker.
It’s a frost-hardy apricot that blooms late. An excellent choice for northern growers – designed for the Canadian market. Harcot requires 700 chill hours to set fruit.
One of the benefits of growing a Harcot apricot tree is that it is self-pollinating, which means it does not require another apricot tree for pollination. This makes it easier for gardeners to grow apricots even if they only have room for a single tree.

More than happy with this Apricot tree
When the tree arrived it was a dead looking stick, we planted it right away and 3 months later it's absolutely beautiful, fully leafed out and already over 6 feet tall! We're under drought conditions here, but it sure hasn't slowed it down.

Harcot Apricot Trees
I bought two of these Apricot trees and they are doing very well. I have tried to raise several varieties of Apricot trees without success. These trees arrived with a very good established root system and with the grace of god will make it through next winter. So far so good. Happy with my purchase thus far.
looks like a good addition
listed as Hardy in Zone 4 and self pollinating
Love apricot preserves
