Sometimes referred to as 'Manchurian Bush Apricot', this incredibly hardy, compact, bush-like tree typically grows to be about 3-3.6m (10-12') tall. It is native to Manchuria in northern China, where temperatures can rise to a blistering 43°C (110°F) during the summer, then plummet to -50°C (-60°F) in winter. We have used it as an apricot rootstock (when we can source it) but it can also be grown as a pollination companion for other varieties, or even just for it's own fruit. The small, plump, golden-yellow fruit is quite sweet and juicy and can be used for fresh eating, preserves and drying. Some variation can be expected from one tree to the next, as they are grown from seed. They would even be worth planting simply for the stunning, shell-pink blossom display in early spring.

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

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.
