WESTCOT APRICOT

Zone 3

Mature Height & Width: 20 - 30' x 25'

Full Sun

Another apricot planted in the same yard is required for reliable yields

KEY ATTRIBUTES:

Westcot is popular for having relatively large fruit and cold-tolerant blooms: the biggest challenge for apricots planted on the prairies is that they flower early, so late frosts can wipe out the pollinated flowers. To reduce the chances of this happening, plant apricots on a west or north exposure (where it is open and sunny), which delays flowering in spring and improves the likelihood of a bumper crop.
