Gold Kist Apricot
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.
