Chinese and Perfection are the only commercial cultivars that are non-seedling/non manchurian apricots that we grow. Firstly, this is not a super hardy apricot. We’ve been growing Chinese apricots since 2016 when Micheal Dolan in Onalaska, Washington introduced them to us. And those earlier plantings have still held up in Missoula, although Missoula proper does not see below -30F. We have seen Chinese meanwhile perish at sub -30F temps, so DO NOT grow this if you are located in these areas of Montana (basically this can only be grown in Missoula, parts of Plains, around Flathead Lake, Dixon, and a few select other areas that don’t see below -30F). Plant with Perfection (which is also only hardy to -30F) for pollination. If you are colder than -30F, then look to many of our other cold climate apricots such as Westcot, Morden 604, and others. Good for baking, fresh eating, canning, and drying and the sweet pits are edible, which you can eat like almonds.

These trees are grafted onto Lovell rootstock and are roughly 6-7 ft. tall. Offered in two sizes.
