Apricots and Peaches
Enjoy the exquisite pleasure of harvesting your own peaches and apricots. The peach and apricot varieties we carry are all self-fertile, but may produce heavier crops if two varieties are present. Peach trees are the easiest of these to grow, since disease resistant varieties are available. Apricot trees need careful siting due to their early bloom, but are worth growing if you have a good spot. For more information, check out our info sheets- Starting Right with Peaches and Can I Grow Apricots in the Pacific Northwest.
Peach trees and Apricot trees are only shipped while dormant, from February through early April. They are available for pickup from February through late November.
