Prunus armenica 'Puget Gold'

Officially named and introduced by Washington State University (WSU). Puget Gold is capable of setting and sizing up fruit in cool, wet spring weather and short, cool summers, where all other varieties fail - although it's not a reliable producer every year. This adaptable variety produces large, elongated fruit of very good flavor. The tree blooms in early Spring and the fruit ripens in early August.

A naturally petite grower, the tree can easily be maintained at 15' height and spacing. While it can produce fruit in maritime regions, it still needs the hottest microclimate available.

Hardy to USDA Zone: 5

Mature Height: 15' 

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: August

Pollination: Self Fertile

Rootstock: St. Julian A

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • Is this a dwarf tree

    I believe what you are asking is how tall will this tree get and the answer is approximately 16 feet.

  • Can it be grown in Northern California? Thanks!

    Yes! You can learn more about your USDA Hardiness Zone from our Growing Resource page.

  • Is the Puget Gold Apricot a bareroot tree, and will it therefore we shipped between February and May of 2025? I live in Eastern Washington and if it is sent too early, I won't be able to plant it right away.

    No worries! Your tree will not be shipped until the planting season begins in your region.

  • does PUGET GOLD APRICOT need a pollinator

    No, it is self-fertile

  • Proclivity for peach curl?

    Not much. Apricots typically do not, but can, suffer from the fungus Taphrina deformans. As it is uncommon, there are no varieties bred for disease resistance.

    Apriums need an Asian plum, the best being Santa Rosa plum.

    St. Julian A.

    600+ chill hours
