Westley Apricot

Prunus armenica 'Westley'This self fertile apricot from the Westley/Patterson area of Northern California (once called "The Apricot Capital of the World"), and released in 1974, is excellent eaten fresh and particularly prized dried. Fruit is medium-to-large in size and freestone; very high quality apricot with good color; orange flesh that's medium-firm and meaty; sweet and flavorful. A late bloomer that also ripens late in the season (+2 weeks after Blenheim). Fruit ripens all at once - great for a single harvest.Hardy to USDA Zone: 4-9Grow Height:  15' (Dwarf)Sun: Full SunRipening Time: AugustPollination: Self FertileRead our Apricot Growing Guide
