Prunus armeniaca 'Sweetheart' Dwarf

Sweetheart Apricot

SweetHeart Apricot produces orange freestone fruit with firm, juicy flesh. Pink flowers open relatively late in the apricot bloom season, over an extended period. Harvest generally falls in July.

This self-fertile variety needs full sun and well-drained loam. Its dwarf designation requires rootstock confirmation before mature dimensions and planting distances can be established.
