Description

A late bloomer, in a good way. One of the very few late-blooming apricots, a coveted heirloom variety that becomes covered with breathtaking, frost-resistant flowers. The fruit looks very much like Wilson Delicious, with a lovely oblong shape and beautiful sunset blush over about 40% of clear orange-yellow background. The flesh is soft and the flavor is mild vs. other more tangy/pungent varieties, and has the bonus of an edible kernel. Very nice for fresh eating, jams and canning. Expect yields of 25 pounds per tree! Freestone. Ripens in late June. Self-pollinating. Originated in Idaho and was introduced in 1984 by Stark Bro’s.

Good late-blooming variety
I bought a Hungarian Rose apricot from Stark Bros in 1989. It blooms later than many other apricots, which gives it a better chance of escaping the late frosts we have here in the Midwest (zone 6A).
It has large fruit with a red blush, orange flesh, and very good taste. There is absolutely no comparison with store-bought. You have to grow apricots yourself if you want to know what a real apricot tastes like.
An unexpected disadvantage of having edible pits is that squirrels will chew into the green apricots to get at the seeds. In a good year I would have hundreds of apricots on my full-sized tree, so there were still plenty left after the squirrels were done.
I had to move to a new location and was frustrated that Stark Bros no longer carried the variety. I'm glad it's listed again.
