Apricots are ideal fruit-bearing trees for difficult climates prone to late spring frosts. In early spring you can expect a beautiful explosion of fragrant, flower blooms. Soon enough the flowers will give way to an abundance of yellow-orange fruit with a sweet, mild flavor and a good texture. For the best possible fruit, we recommend that you plant apricots in an area that will receive at least 700 hours below 32 degrees F during the winter.
