About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Apricot Seeds are identified at the species level as seed-grown Prunus armeniaca for a long-term backyard orchard or edible-landscape project. The images show the general appearance and growing use of mature apricot fruit; they do not verify a particular cultivar or guarantee fruit traits in seed-grown offspring.
Seed-grown plants may vary. Offspring may differ from the parent plant. Parent fruit characteristics are not guaranteed.
Seed-grown apricot trees may differ in fruit size, color, flavor, growth habit, and time to fruit. Follow packet guidance for preparation and sowing, then establish young trees in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and suitable long-term space.
