Description: Apricot, Prunus armeniaca, Tree Seeds Hardy, Fast Growth, Fragrant Showy Flowers, Edible Fruits, Fall Color, Bonsai, Cold, Wind and Drought Tolerant, Adaptable The Apricot is a small, rounded tree reaching 15 to 20 feet in height. It is a hardy tree, bearing stone fruit, closely related to the peach. The leaves are broad, simple, ovate or broad-elliptic and mostly smooth, medium green turning golden yellow in the fall. The fragrant showy flowers are single, white to pink and over 1 inch wide, blooming in the spring before the leaves emerge. The fruit, which ripens end of July to mid-August, are about 1 inch in diameter, yellow with red flush, showy, edible and borne in abundance. The fruit provides food for wildlife during the fall. Fruits can be eaten fresh and are excellent for making jams and jellies. Apricot oil is used as a substitute for Oil of Almonds, which it very closely resembles. It is far less expensive and finds considerable employment in cosmetics, for its softening action on the skin. It is often fraudulently added to genuine Almond oil and used in the manufacture of soaps, cold creams and other preparations of the perfumery trade.
