Prunus armenica 'Gold Kist'

These plum-sized, orange, freestone fruits, originally from California in the 1960's, are the first apricots to ripen each season. The firm orange flesh is delicious eaten fresh or dried.  What a great way to extend your harvest!

Only 300 chill hours needed to reliably bloom and set large quantities of fruit. Especially well-suited for warm climates. Blooms early; not for growers with variable spring weather.

Nice Looking Tree

The tree came much larger than I expected and seems to be very healthy. I am looking forward to seeing the growth it puts out this year.

bare root gold kist apricot

The tree arrived promptly. With the help of your horticulturist s video on planting bare root trees, I dug the hole and put my tree in its new home in my back yard. Time will tell, but I m happy so far.
