The apricot (Prunus armeniaca) is a fruit-bearing tree native to China and is related to the plum.
It is a small to medium-sized tree with a dense, spreading canopy. Its flowers are white to pinkish in color. The fruit appears similar to a peach or nectarine, with a color ranging from yellow to orange and sometimes a red cast; its surface is smooth and nearly hairless. Apricots are a stone fruit (drupes) , and have only one seed, often called a "stone".
The apricot originated in northeastern China near the Russian border, not in Armenia as the scientific name suggests. It did arrive in Armenia after moving through central Asia, which took about 3,000 years. (The Duduk, an ancient Armenian instrument that produces sounds that evoke feelings of sadness and far-off lands, is made of apricot tree wood.) The English settlers brought the apricot to the English colonies in the New World; most of modern American production of apricots comes from the seedlings carried to the west coast by Spanish missionaries. Most U.S. production is in California with some in Oregon and Utah.
The Apricot is slightly more cold-hardy than the peach, tolerating winter temperatures as cold as −30 °C or lower if healthy. The limiting factor in apricot culture is spring frosts: They tend to flower very early, meaning spring frost often kills the flowers. The trees do need some winter weather (even if minimal) to allow for a proper dormancy, to bear and grow properly.
Apricot cultivars are most often grafted on plum or peach rootstocks. A cutting of an existing apricot plant provides the fruit characteristics such as flavor, size, etc., but the rootstock provides the growth characteristics of the plant. |
