The Moorpark Apricot (Prunus armeniaca ‘Moorpark’) is a classic heritage variety that dates back to the 1600s. It’s known for producing large, sweet, juicy fruits with a distinctive apricot-orange color and a red blush. It’s self-fertile, meaning you only need one tree to produce fruit. Prefers full sun and well-draining soil. Requires 600-700 chill hours.
