Fruit tree

Prunus armeniaca 'Scout' is a hardy apricot variety native to Canada, specially bred to withstand cold winters and harsh climatic conditions. A favorite in northern regions, this late-flowering fruit tree produces medium- to small-sized apricots with orange skin often tinged with red and firm, medium-juicy flesh with a mild, pleasant flavor. Although partially self-fertile, cross-pollination with other compatible varieties significantly improves fruit set. 'Scout' apricot is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a hardy, reliable, and productive variety adapted to cool climates, and suitable for both fresh consumption and processing.
