I had to show you this tree absolutely loaded with fruit! It looked like a weeping tree 2 weeks ago. For not thinning anything, the fruit was nice sized too.
Tropic GoldTM produces medium to large, excellent tasting apricots in late June to early July.
As you can see they are yellow with orange cheek. Fruit is firm and juicy. Good for fresh eating, canning and dehydrating. It is self fertile.
A good apricot for mild winter areas. It fruits every year in Camarillo, California where this tree originated. Another very popular apricot, Blenheim does not consistently fruit in the same location which is what caught our attention to Tropic Gold. Chilling hours is estimated at 350 hours opening up wide areas with mild winter climates to this delicious fruit.
We introduced this tree to the trade in 2005 and sales continue to be ever increasing.
I hope you have a chance to enjoy them.
