A large yellow variety that bears from July to late August. Juicy, sweet tasting fruit which are good fresh, or for canning and drying. It is a self-fertile tree, but planting two varieties is recommended for a better crop. (zones 4-8)
A medium to late season apricot landscape tree with large, tasty fruit and attractive showy whitish-pink blossoms. Ripening does not occur all at once. Apricot trees are self-fertile, so one tree can produce fruit by itself without pollen from a separate tree, though it still needs insects to transfer pollen from blossom to blossom within the original tree. These Moorpark seedlings may be grown from seed or budded, but mainly grown from seed.
Chill hours (CU) requirement: 600-700. (Chill hours are the average hours of air temperature between 32 and 45 degrees F in a typical winter season). For best fruit production, calculate the chill unit (CU) for your growing zone to be sure it aligns with the CU requirement of this tree.
