Puget Gold Apricot Fruit Tree
Prunus armeniaca 'Puget Gold'
Apricot Fruit Tree
Currently unavailable
Easy to grow and disease resistant, bearing large, sweet golden fleshed fruits in late summer. Free-stone and self-fertile. White flowers in spring and orange fall color paired with a somewhat smaller form make this tree a perfect fit for many landscapes. Heavy fruit bearing years can be offset by years with little to no fruit, so pinching some fruits early in the season can help maintain yearly fruit production.
