Katy Apricot Tree

Ripens in Late May

Large, flavorful fruits
Ideal for fresh eating, drying and canning
Requires 350 winter chill hours

One of the few apricots with a freestone pit, so it is fast and easy to process. Fruit is large and very flavorful. Good for fresh eating, drying or canning. A great apricot for mild winter areas. Self-fertile, so a second tree for cross pollination is not needed. Cold hardy to zone 7. (Requires 350 winter chill hours) One of the earliest to ripen, Late May to late June.

Why buy a Deluxe package - Deluxe fruit trees include 2 oz. of Fruit-Boost™ Pelletized Calcium to enhance fruit quality, 12 oz. bag of Fruit Tree Food Starter Formula, easy-to-use tree ties (see video below), a premium tree guard to protect the trunk from gnawing pests, mowers and weed trimmers.
