Apricot Scout

Prunus armeniaca 'Scout', known as the 'Scout' apricot tree, is a hardy and productive fruit variety developed for cool climates like those in Quebec, combining cold hardiness, generous flowering, and fruit quality. This tree produces white flowers in spring, followed by golden-orange apricots with juicy, aromatic flesh, which are enjoyed fresh, in jams, or preserved. Self-fertile and easy to grow, it prefers a full sun exposure and well-drained soil, fitting well into home orchards, productive gardens, or edible landscapes. With its rounded, open-canopy habit and moderate growth, the 'Scout' apricot tree brings both seasonal ornamental interest and tasty harvests, making it an excellent choice for fruit lovers in residential spaces.
