Fruit tree

The Prunus armeniaca 'Blenheim' apricot tree is a renowned heirloom variety native to California, prized for both its flavor and versatility. In addition to being self-fertile, it produces better yields when planted near other compatible apricot trees. Adapted to temperate climates, it prefers well-drained soils and full sun. However, its early flowering makes it susceptible to late frosts. The Blenheim apricot's fruits, with their golden skin accented with red, are particularly sought after for their exceptional flavor and high sugar content, making this fruit tree a top choice for home or commercial orchards seeking flavorful fruit, ideal for processing or direct consumption.
