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.

Apricot Product Overview

Apricot (Prunus armeniaca)
Homegrown, tree-ripened apricots are healthy, delicious eating- fresh, canned or dried. Apricot trees are notorious for waking up too early in the spring, and then getting their blossoms zapped by a late frost. You can help by planting on a sheltered north-facing slope. Another trick some old-timers used was spreading a layer of compost or horse-manure under the tree in early winter AFTER the ground was frozen. This slows down soil (and root) warm up in spring, consequently also delaying budbreak. We try to help by offering some of the later-blooming varieties.

Growing Tips

Apricot / Peach Growing Tip

One of the key factors that determines cold-hardiness for tender fruit trees such as apricots and peaches is how well they harden off in the fall. Any activity that stimulates growth should be avoided after August 1. This includes fertilizing, overly frequent watering and pruning.
