5 Questions
Why did you choose this?

Advertised as late blooming which is important for my zone 5b and it is canker resistant

I love apricots

It will go well in my group of orchard trees.

Stark is an excellent company and the apricot sounded delicious.

Chill hours required ?

Harglow does best with 800+ chill hours and blooms late for an Apricot (the exact time will depend on your location).

I know some apricot trees are more deer resistant than others. Any feelings about the Harglow’s deer resistance?

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.

Which is the largest and best tasting apricot?

Best tasting apricot was from my Harcot tree and largest was from my Coldcot and Harglow trees.

Sweet  stone?

Spring, 2024 and my Harglow apricot arrived, on time, bare rooted. Following the directions, i planted it. Since then, it has flourished, leafing out and forming a leader branch at the top. I will have to be patient, but, ultimately, the apricots from this healthy tree will undoubtedly be delicious. The persimmon I purchased from Stark three years ago is bearing its first fruit. It has grown into a beautiful tree. In addition, it's Fall foliage is as beautiful as described. Thank you, Stark.

Lovely and modest apricot
Very happy with how it grows in less than perfect spot. Last year had 13 fruits, but squirrels got to them before us (planning protection for this year). Really nice tree of modest size, just right for might smallish backyard.

Stunning Tree With or Without Apricots
Finally, I am going to get to enjoy some apricots! I bought this tree in 2015, and every year until this year there have been late frosts that have zapped the blossoms or the baby apricots. There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of thumbnail sized fruit covering every inch of my tree at this very moment! Even without the apricots, I have enjoyed this tree immensely. It is a beautifully shaped tree, and when it is in blossom there’s nothing more stunning in my neighborhood. I prune when the buds are tight and keep the branches in a bucket of water in the garage to keep them cool. Every week I bring in a bunch of the branches to force them into bloom. What a sight to behold. It is a vigorous grower, so don’t let it get out of hand.

Great
At one time we raised apricots commercially and now have a small home orchard. This cot is more tasty, firm, and appealing than any of the varieties we raise previously. We can them with the pit left inside and they are delicious.

Apricot tree
I am very pleased with this tree. It is flourishing at this point. Which is great since it's only been in the ground one full year. I planted Fall of 2015. This spring 2017 the tree has grown a lot and looks full and healthy.
