'Goldcot' produces a great crop of early, medium sized, nearly round Apricots in early August.

Tree Features:

Bloom Color: Pink
Bloom Time: mid Spring
Mature Height: 15-20 ft
Mature Spread: 15-20 ft
Harvest: Medium-sized fruit in early August
Zone: 5-8

Pollination: Self-pollination, but cross-pollination by a different variety of mid Spring blooming apricot tree within 50 feet is key to its growth and success.
Placement: Full Sun

Nursery Stock Specifications:

Pot Size: 7 gallon
Age: 3+ years old, fruiting

Fruit Profile:

Color: Bright golden-yellow skin adorned by red speckles
Texture: Firm & juicy
Taste: Deep sweet & tangy
Cooking: Great for fresh eating, best as a canner since the flavor, texture and the golden color go through the canning process better than most other Apricots

Other notes:

Heavy producer
Furrowed bark and glossy leaves in summer

Care:

Feed twice a year with a slow release fertilizer. Fertilize in early spring before growth starts and late fall after the leaves have fallen and the ground isn't yet frozen. (5 minutes of work)
Prune in late winter to remove crossing branches and promote good airflow to encourage fruiting. (5-10 minutes of work)
