Wenatchee Moorpark Apricot Tree
Description
The Wenatchee Moorpark Apricot tree is a heavy bearer of large, oval, freestone fruit with yellow-orange skin and flesh. Known as a reliable and prolific producer, expect a generous bounty of fresh, juicy apricots every year, ripening from July to late August. This variety is particularly well-suited for drying and home canning or eating right from the branches.
The Wenatchee Moorpark Apricot was introduced in 1908 by C&O Nursery and is a longtime favorite in western Oregon and Washington. Like the famed Moorpark Apricot, Wenatchee Moorpark is prized for its ability to thrive in climates that have very wet springs. This apricot tree is recommended for western climates where spring rains and frosts limit apricot culture.
Wenatchee is a great pollinator for late-blooming apricots. It is self-pollinating with estimated chill hours of 700. Perfect for adding interest to your landscape, enjoy this edible ornamental and the large harvest of fruits for years to come!
