Prunus armeniaca 'Goldcot' Dwarf

Goldcot Dwarf Apricot

Goldcot Apricot produces medium-sized fruit with golden skin and juicy, yellow-orange flesh. Its tangy flavor and freestone texture suit eating fresh, freezing, and canning.

Developed in Michigan, this cultivar is noted for productivity in cooler, humid climates. It needs approximately 800 winter chill hours for reliable seasonal development.

Goldcot is self-fruitful. Provide full sun and fertile soil with good drainage, allowing enough space for the particular rootstock and pruning system.
