Potted Debbie's Gold Apricot

History: Debbie's Gold was introduced by Aubins Nursery in Manitoba in 1980.
Why We Grow It: Debbie's Gold is a relatively new but promising apricot variety for us. It is very cold hardy and late blooming, which improves the chance of a crop in our climate. It produces small fruit with a rich apricot flavour with spicy notes.
