Savor the taste of summer with the Wenatchee Moorpark Apricot, a legendary variety prized for its large, juicy fruit and exceptional reliability. Specifically selected for its ability to thrive in the Pacific Northwest and other regions with fluctuating spring weather, the 'Wenatchee' is more bloom-hardy than most apricots, ensuring a consistent harvest year after year. The fruit itself is a golden-orange delight, featuring a sweet, rich flavor and a smooth texture that makes it perfect for fresh eating, sun-drying, or turning into world-class preserves.
In the spring, this tree becomes a stunning ornamental centerpiece, smothered in a cloud of fragrant, pinkish-white blossoms that hum with the activity of early pollinators. Its rounded, spreading canopy provides a lush, green backdrop throughout the summer months. Because the Wenatchee Moorpark is self-fertile, it’s a fantastic choice for gardeners with limited space who can only plant one fruit tree. Bring a touch of the orchard to your backyard and enjoy the unmatched sweetness of a tree-ripened apricot.
