Botanical namePrunus armeniaca Westcot

Prunus armeniaca ‘Westcot’ is a hardy and productive apricot tree, designed to thrive in cold climates like those in Quebec thanks to its excellent winter hardiness and late flowering which reduces the risk of damage from spring frosts. This Canadian cultivar develops an elegant rounded crown and produces medium to large fruits with golden-yellow skin and a slight red/orange blush, featuring firm, sweet, and juicy flesh, perfect for fresh consumption or processing (jams, preserves). Preferring full sun and light, well-drained soil, ‘Westcot’ is valued for its reliable production and hardiness, making it an excellent choice for family orchards, fruit hedges, or productive gardens in Quebec.
