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

Good size tree

Very well packed! I’m really happy with the tree though I am not sure if I bought the right one for zone 9. Planted and it seems to be doing ok so far. Leaves have sprouted.

I can count on RainTree Nursery

Purchased 2 apricot tree-lings from Raintree last year and they both "sprouted" (flowered, grew, survived the winter, and now they are flowering again). So I purchased a 3rd . . . all different varieties. Arrived at the perfect time of year as I think they watched the cold snap we had during mid-March and in fine condition. Easy to get in the ground . . . Maybe a few years and I will be fighting the birds for fruit!?

Didn't make it

Once I planted it, it seemed fine and good. After a few weeks saw leaves starting to sprout and then within a few weeks they turned black and there was no turning back. So bummed

I planted the bare root tree about a month ago and had a few blooms. I saw a few baby apricots today! I wasn’t expecting that this season so very happy!

My apricot tree

When I received this tree two years ago I couldn’t believe how strong and sturdy it was. At the second year, this year, the tree gave us a total of nine sweet and beautiful apricots. I did have to totally enclose it with a net so the squirrels would not get the fruit. Raintree has excellent quality trees. I would highly recommend the puget gold apricot tree!
