Questions & Answers
Harglow does best with 800+ chill hours and blooms late for an Apricot (the exact time will depend on your location).
I agree with Christopher. I finally got smart and put 4 foot high, 6 foot diameter fencing around each tree. They can't reach in far enough to eat and it works pretty well...otherwise you'll be ordering new trees every couple years.
Best tasting apricot was from my Harcot tree and largest was from my Coldcot and Harglow trees.
