Prunus armeniaca Wilson Delicious

Wilson Delicious Apricot

Wilson Delicious Apricot produces firm, golden-orange freestone fruit. The apricots suit fresh eating, canning, freezing and drying. Harvest is generally in early July. Pink and white flowers precede the fruit.

This self-fertile variety grows best in full sun and well-drained loam. Mature dimensions depend on the rootstock, which should be confirmed when planning an orchard.
