About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
You have a large-fruited American variety from Washington with strikingly strong orange-coloured, firm fruit. Unlike most apricots it is not self‑fertile, so plant a second apricot tree as a pollinator nearby, such as ‚Orangered’ or ‚Bergeron’, otherwise the yield will be absent. The tree grows strong and, with good pollination, bears large, transportable fruit.
Firm flesh with a strong, slightly acidic aroma, especially good for canning and baking where the acidity gives structure.
