Confused on Sizing?
These apricots are picture-perfect. The Tropic Gold Apricot (Prunus armeniaca 'Tropic Gold') produces medium-large golden fruit that glows as it hangs from the stem. This profuse bloomer thrives in warmer regions that prevent other apricots from fruiting. If you want pristine apricots that are juicy and bright, you need a Tropic Gold Apricot tree.
The Tropic Gold Apricot explodes with abundant fruits that are yellow-orange with perfect red speckles. This tree's tasty fruit grows in dense clusters on weeping branches. Tropic Gold Apricots offer firm flesh that is juicy and sweet.
If you're familiar with other apricot trees, this one is often compared to the Blenheim or Royal varieties, with the exception of performing better in warmer locales.
While you won't be able to resist snacking on these fresh fruits, you can also enjoy them in a wide variety of ways. The sugar level of the Tropic Gold Apricot makes them excellent for preserves and canning. You can add freshness to vanilla ice cream or yogurt with some sliced apricot or enjoy your crop anytime with dehydrated apricots and fruit leather.
The Tropic Gold Apricot tree performs better than other apricot varieties in warmer regions because it doesn't require as much chill time. Its chill requirement is only 300 hours. This amazing tree fruits early from June to July and produces bushels of fruit.
When spring arrives, you'll love its petite but charming white clusters of flowers. And your local pollinators will, too.
Tropic Gold Apricot will want full sun so it can grow quickly and begin fruiting early. It also does its best with well-drained medium-moisture soil. Water your Tropic Gold Apricot regularly to establish. It will become drought tolerant once it's established in your soil.
Plant Tropic Gold Apricot alongside other fruit trees in a backyard fruit orchard. The bright orange fruit makes this a great candidate as a specimen in your front or backyard. No matter where you plant yours, make sure its fruit are easily accessible.
If you're looking for golden, sweet, and plentiful apricots, don't miss your opportunity! A Tropic Gold Apricot will provide you with enough apricots for years. Order yours today!
