True Root Nursery

Apricot Seedling Bareroot

Species: Prunus armeniaca

History: These seedlings are grown from local Ontario apricot seeds we collected. 

Why We Grow It: We are always happy to promote greater biodiversity and growing your own seedlings is a great way to get something unique! Apricots tend to stay fairly true to type so odds are the resulting fruit will be good for fresh eating. After seven years or so, the first of our seedlings have fruited and the fruit is excellent!

If you prefer the certainty of named varieties, these seedlings would also be good for feeding wildlife or planting along fence lines.
