An 'orchard grade' is a tree that may be somewhat shorter, slightly crooked, or a bit scratched, or for some other reason is not a perfect front lawn specimen. These trees will work just as well in an orchard as a first or number one would, since they still produce the very same fruit.

This selection from the Harrow Research Station here in Ontario gets a glowing review from Bob Purvis the apricot guru. Medium sized fruit has exceptional flavour and texture. When ripe the bright orange, red-blushed skin is almost luminous, giving rise to the 'Harglow' name. Like all the Harrow Series, it scores high on disease resistance, will take fluctuating winter temperatures well and blooms relatively late.
