Fruit tree

Prunus armeniaca 'Westcot' is a hardy apricot variety developed in Canada, known for its good adaptation to cold climates and its ability to produce reliably even in northern regions. This self-fertile fruit tree offers better yields when planted with other compatible varieties. It produces medium to large fruit with slightly reddish-orange yellow skin and firm, sweet, and juicy flesh, ideal for both fresh consumption and processing. Its late flowering reduces the risk of damage from spring frosts, making it a good choice for cold-zone gardeners and growers looking for a hardy, tasty, and productive variety.
