One of the hardiest apricots derived from the European genetic line, Goldcot is not suitable for most of Montana. It cannot withstand temperatures below -30°F, so it is only suitable for the warmer parts of Missoula, areas around Flathead Lake, and other warmer microclimates west of the divide.

That said, Goldcot is a beautiful golden-yellow freestone with a rich, deep, sweet-tangy flavor—perfect for fresh eating or canning. Plant with Perfection for cross-pollination, though it can be planted alone if space is limited. Hardy to -30°F.

These trees are grafted onto Lovell rootstock and are roughly 5–7 feet tall.
