SUGAR PEARLS WHITE-FLESHED APRICOT

Price range: $51.95 through $67.95

A very promising, white-fleshed variety from New Jersey released in 2005. Medium-large, pale yellow fruit with an orange blush. Juicy, smooth, fine-textured flesh has exceptionally rich, honey sweet flavour. Excellent both fresh and dried. Spreading, stocky tree handles mid winter temperature swings quite well and shows good disease resistance across the board. Requires cross-pollination from another late blooming variety.

NEEDS A POLLENIZER | ZONE 4/5 | HARVEST: MID AUG.

Growing Tips

Apricot / Peach Growing Tip

One of the key factors that determines cold-hardiness for tender fruit trees such as apricots and peaches is how well they harden off in the fall. Any activity that stimulates growth should be avoided after August 1. This includes fertilizing, overly frequent watering and pruning.


Product Overview
Apricot (Prunus armeniaca) Homegrown, tree-ripened apricots are healthy, delicious eating- fresh, canned or dried. Apricot trees are notorious for waking up too early in the spring, and then getting their blossoms zapped by a late frost. You can help by planting on a sheltered north-facing slope. Another trick some old-timers used was spreading a layer of compost or horse-manure under the tree in early winter AFTER the ground was frozen. This slows down soil (and root) warm up in spring, consequently also delaying budbreak. We try to help by offering some of the later-blooming varieties. 1.25-2m (4-6') bareroot trees

What is Orchard Grade?

An 'orchard grade' is a tree that may be somewhat shorter, slightly crooked, or a bit scratched, or for some other reason is not a perfect front lawn specimen. These trees will work just as well in an orchard as a first or number one would, since they still produce the very same fruit.

What is a 2 year old tree?

A '2 year old tree' is one that has grown an extra season in our nursery field.

All our trees are planted in the field in the spring as rootstock. They are grafted in August of the 1st year. Most of our trees are dug out in November of the 2nd year. Some trees are in the ground for another season. We dig these in November of the 3rd year. These are considered to be '2 year old trees'.

A '2 year old tree' has bigger roots, a thicker trunk, and more branching (They might start fruiting a year earlier).
