Fruit harvest

Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Description

Fruit

Medium-sized, round fruit (60–70 g) with a strong orange-red colour; firm, sweet flesh of very good quality, rain-tolerant and holding well on the tree.

Growth

Medium to strong vigour.

Yield

High, regular yield.

Notes

Self-fertile; mid-late bloom. Ripens about the same time as Goldrich (late July). Needs a warm, sheltered site.

Care

Choose a warm, sheltered spot; apricots resent hard pruning, so thin in summer rather than cutting back hard in winter.
