PUGET GOLD was developed from the chance finding of an heirloom seedling near Puget Sound. Washington State University then introduced the variety because it proved to be especially adapted to the wet, cold (even frosty) springtimes of the Pacific Northwest. Puget Gold apricots are extra-large with a rich,sweet flavor and color. It is one of America’s top favorites – excellent for fresh eating, jams, ice cream, preserves, desserts & cobblers, or dehydrating for year-round healthy snacking. Trees are disease resistant and considered the easiest-to-grow apricot variety - the fruit will ripen even in short summers. Puget Gold Apricot trees are self-fertile and have a prolific crop when mature, usually ripening late July through August. It is the #1 recommended apricot for our climate and conditions. Prunus armeniaca ‘Puget Gold’ USDA Zones 5 - 9
WENATCHEE: Over 100 years ago an heirloom seeding of 'Moorpark' apricot was introduced in Wenatchee, Washington, giving this apricot its current name. The large, firm, flavorful yellow/orange apricots have a rich sweet taste, enjoyed freshly-picked. They are also especially good for jam, sauces, dehydrating, and canning. Wenatchee is known for its ability to thrive in wet spring weather & withstand spring frosts. Wenatchee apricot trees are self-fertile and early-ripening, usually late July to August. Prunus armeniaca ‘Wenatchee’ USDA Zones 5 – 9
