About Apricot
Apricots are among the earliest stone fruits to bloom and ripen — fragrant, golden, and self-fertile, but the early blooms make them vulnerable to late frosts.
Plant in well-drained soil in full sun, ideally against a warm wall. Thin fruit heavily for size. Harvest when soft and fragrant; apricots ripen fast.
Gardening in Wyoming
