Your Golden Sweet goes beyond producing superior fruit by also being ornamental. Pink-hued, white blossoms cover the tree in spring, a strong call to pollinators. The foliage has a romantic, heart-shaped appearance that’s glossy enough to shine in the summer sun’s rays. The golden skin of the fruit has a soft blush, a gorgeous accent against the vibrant, green leaves. Golden Sweet Apricot will grow up to 15 feet in height with an equal spread. It has an upright form, medium growth rate and enjoys full sun exposure. Golden Sweet is self-fertile, but will do best when other apricot trees are nearby. Apricots are so much fun to have in the yard. They’re not only pretty to look at, but provide a harvest of tiny fruits that make up for their size by having a robust flavor.
