Prunus armeniaca ( Moorpark Apricot )

/Home/Garden Basics/Trees/Types of Trees/Fruit Trees/Apricot Trees/Moorpark Apricot Trees

The fruit of the apricot tree resembles a small, yellow peach and is used for drying, desserts, preserves and canning. They can grow up to 25 feet in height and require full sun and medium water with good drainage. Brown rot, fruit bark beetle, peach borer, plum curculio and San Jose scale can all be a problem. This cultivar is good for drying but a poor canner.
