Additional Notes

Late-ripening Autumn Royal Apricot is subject to pit-burn fruit spoilage when summer high temperatures exceed 100°, so is not recommended for hot-summer inland climates such as California's Central Valley.

WHILE DWARFING ROOTSTOCKS HAVE IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES, ROOTSTOCKS SHOULD BE SELECTED PRIMARILY FOR ADAPTABILITY TO THE SOIL AND CLIMATE OF THE PLANTING SITE.
