All About Apricots

apricots

Hungarian Rose Apricots: Trees bloom late and produce moderately heavy amounts of bloom. Trees were harvested in early-mid-season and yield averaged 25 pounds per tree and average fruit weight was 1.6 to 2.1 ounces. The fruit surface was 20 to 50% covered with red blotches over an orange-yellow background. The suture was very smooth and some of the sutures may split at the stem end. The fairly unattractive fruit had a suture ratio of 1.07 and a length:diameter ratio of 0.97. The flesh was soft and mealy and the mild flavor was rated fair.
