It shows some resistance to brown rot and other diseases.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Also, which varieties would do best in a full-partial sun area? Thanks!

    Apricots do not ripen in partial shade, they need all the sun they can get.

  • Which apricot varieties do you offer that are the most cold hardy and do well even with potential late spring frosts? Thanks!

    Puget Gold and Harglow are the best for that scenario.

  • When does it bloom? and How many chill hours ?

    Harglow does best with 800+ chill hours and blooms late for an Apricot (the exact time will depend on your location).

Great little tree that came impeccably packed

Thank you Rye! Thank you for your care and expertise! Greatly packed and full of life tree. Trimmed down upon arrival for future trunk shape. We fed it with budding hormones and now is thriving.

Harglow and Chinese Sweet Pit Apricots

Harglow didn’t look good upon arrival and died while Chinese Sweet Pit did well.

The tree you sent is top quality

The tree you sent is top quality. I’m hoping does well and gives me fruit.I have growing apricots for years without success. We’ll see what happens.

Apricot Tree dead on arrival!

Poorest tree purchase in over 20 years. No buds and branches dried and breaking off. Called and left message with customer service with no response or return call. I’d be embarrassed if I would have put this poor equality of a tree in a box and actually shipped it!

Apricot tree

Well it seems my plant is having the same luck as the rest-Very dead-roots didn’t appear to be viable-seemed to have a little green in the cambium??

still waiting

It’s been more than a week since the tree arrived, and was planted and it still not showing any signs of life. I am holding out that maybe that will change, but it does not look viable.

Not many roots

I have ordered trees from Raintree that I was very happy with. This tree came with hardly any roots and the roots it has are partially broken from how tightly they were wrapped. Not what I was expecting for the price. I’m concerned that it won’t make it due to how little roots it has. Pretty diss appointed, especially for the price of the tree.

Hi Lisa, thank you for taking the time to write a review of your experience. I am sorry to hear your Harglow arrived in that condition.

Our horticulturist may have some wonderful suggestions, if you wanted to reach out to us and provide a few pictures, we could get her input. I hope that helps! Best, Jacque

order received

My order was received in apparent good condition. It is not leafed out yet, but has been planted in the ground. I'll have to see how it does through the summer.

Harlow apricot

My harglow apricot has been in the ground for two weeks (since the day it arrived) now and I fear that it may be dead. I ordered a cosmic crisp apple that arrived at the same time and it is busy leafing out, but still just bare twigs on my apricot. I have a couple of established apricot trees that are leafed out and in bloom. I'm still holding out hope but it's not looking good for this little tree. Fingers crossed...

Just came this week - excellent packaging

I am very excited to try this apricot, especially since it is supposed to bloom a little later and may do better with our late frosts. The packaging was excellent, it was combined very well with the rest of my order.

very confusing

this says both "dwarf" and "grow height 15"

Hello Sara,
15' is considered to be a dwarf apricot. They naturally grow to taller than this.
