(Chinese Apricot Plum Hybrid, Hanska Plumcot)

Robust, vigorous, pretty when in bloom, the Hanska plumcot bears red, firm-fleshed fruits in the latter half of summer. This hardy deciduous tree was introduced by Dr. Niels Hansen in 1908 in Brookings, South Dakota as a cross between the American wild plum (Prunus americana)and the Chinese apricot (Prunus simonii), known commonly as a plumcot. This tall, round-canopied tree has slightly spreading branches, allowing it a dual purpose of a small yard shade tree as well as for fruit...

This deciduous fruit bearing tree is the parent of most modern apricot cultivars. Native to Northeast China, and introduced to cultivation there more than 3,000 years ago, the apricot reached southeastern Europe via Armenia or Persia in about 70 BC. It was later introduced to Spain by the Arabs. It arrived in England and the eastern United States in the seventeenth century; Spanish missionaries brought it to California in the eighteenth century. Few selections were made until the nineteenth century....

(Apricot)

An early-bearing apricot whose fruits ripen several days before those of 'Blenheim,' 'Early Golden' is also less susceptible to frost because of its somewhat later bloom. Like most modern apricots, it is a selection of Prunus armeniaca, a native of Northeast China that has been cultivated there for more than 3,000 years.

This small to medium-sized tree has spreading branches studded with short spur-like branchlets. The oval, bright green leaves have serrated edges and reddish purple...

(Apricot)

A recent introduction from England, 'Golden Glow' is considered one of the hardiest and most reliable apricot cultivars in its country of origin. Like most modern apricots, it is a selection of Prunus armeniaca, a native of Northeast China that has been cultivated there for more than 3,000 years.

This small to medium-sized tree has spreading branches studded with short spur-like branchlets. The oval, bright green leaves have serrated edges and reddish purple petioles (stems). In early...

(Apricot)

This deciduous apricot tree produces an abundant crop of golden fruit every year. It is a modern hybrid of a very ancient tree that has been in cultivation for over five thousand years. Its point of origin is believed to be somewhere in Asia Minor. Royale is the most commonly planted commercial apricot in America and constitutes 80 percent of the crop. This apricot is a medium sized tree, bearing a broad canopy of large oval bright green leaves on upright branches. They are often grafted onto plum...

(Apricot)

One of the few apricot cultivars that weathers the bitter winters of the Northern Plains States, 'Scout' was introduced in 1937 by the Dominion Experimental Station, Morden, Manitoba. It was raised from seed imported from Manchuria in 1930. Unlike most modern apricots, which are selections of Prunus armeniaca, it probably descends from Manchurian apricot (P. mandshurica) or Siberian apricot (P. sibirica).

This vigorous, rounded, small to medium-sized...
