Manchurian Apricot (Prunus mandshurica) is a cold hardy apricot from northeastern Asia. Seedlings are genetically distinct and may vary in fruit size, flavour, ripening, productivity, growth, and hardiness. They can be grown as fruiting seedlings or evaluated as apricot rootstocks.

These seeds were collected in Manitoba in 2026 from locally grown Manchurian apricot trees.

How to stratify seed

Warm stage first. Keep the same bag at room temperature for the warm period shown, then move it to the fridge.

In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.

Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
