Growing Harcot Apricots

The Harcot apricot tree is well-suited to a range of climates and soils, but it prefers well-draining soil and a sunny location. It is also relatively pest and disease-resistant, with good tolerance to bacterial spot and perennial canker.

It’s a frost-hardy apricot that blooms late. An excellent choice for northern growers – designed for the Canadian market. Harcot requires 700 chill hours to set fruit.

One of the benefits of growing a Harcot apricot tree is that it is self-pollinating, which means it does not require another apricot tree for pollination. This makes it easier for gardeners to grow apricots even if they only have room for a single tree.
