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.
Released in 2000, AC™ Haroblush could be considered a second generation graduate of the Harrow Research Station, as it was created by crossing Harglow and Harcot. This flavourful, attractive apricot is productive and disease resistant just like all of the Harrow series. Medium-sized fruit with glossy, bright red blush over an orange background is an ideal choice for fresh eating or drying. With it's impressive cold-hardiness and ability to handle fluctuating winter temperatures, AC™ Haroblush is definitely one of the best mid-season cultivars for Eastern Canada.
SELF-FERTILE | ZONE 4 | HARVEST : LATE JULY-EARLY AUG.
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.
