Moorpark apricot trees produce among the largest fruit of all apricots. Typically the orange colored fruit ripens in about mid-June. Moorpark apricots grow well in planting zones 1, 2, and 3 where low temperatures in winter can fall to 50 degrees below zero.

As with most stone fruit trees, center pruning--trimming to allow maximum exposure to sunlight-- is recommended in order to increase production and insure the strength of the tree.
