Apricot (Prunus armeniaca) is a deciduous fruit tree grown for fleshy yellow to orange fruit with a single stone. The fruit can be eaten fresh, dried or made into preserves. A broad canopy and early spring blossom also make it a distinctive small orchard tree.
These seedlings were grown from seed collected in British Columbia. Each tree is genetically distinct, so fruit size, flavour and ripening can vary. Early flowering is an important consideration in cold climates: late spring frost can damage the blossoms even when the tree itself survives the winter.

More about this plant
A different apricot
This is the common apricot, Prunus armeniaca, grown from British Columbia seed. It is a different species from our Manchurian apricot seedlings, which come from a local seed source and are hardy here.
Flowers and frost
Apricots flower early, and a late spring frost can take the blossoms and that year's crop. Seedlings can differ in flowering time as well as in fruit.
