Apricot ‘Puget Gold’ – N

Puget Gold is capable of setting and sizing up fruit in cool, wet spring weather and short, cool summers, where all other varieties fail – although it’s not a reliable producer every year. This adaptable variety produces large, elongated fruit of very good flavor. The tree blooms in early Spring and the fruit ripens in early August.

Puget Gold apricot was developed in Western Washington and is the easiest to grow and most disease resistant apricot variety, growers have found. Self-fertile, but benefits from cross-pollination with another Apricot.

Delectably sweet and tender, fully ripe Apricots are a unique tasty treat.
