• Facts of note: Orange Knockout is a flavor packed early season Apricot. A taste test winner with both beauty and flavor. The attractive orange skin with a deep red blush covers a deep orange flesh. The early ripening allows you to begin eating the Orange knockout when it is still firm ripe and tangy. As the flesh softens the sugars take over to provide a classic sweet and juicy apricot flavor. Ripening in late May to early June in central California, Orange Knockout also delivers a dependable crop year after year, unlike other more popular varieties. As with most Apricot trees, the shape of the canopy lends itself to be used as shade tree in the landscape. Let these big beautiful, deep orange apricots bring a knockout punch to your garden. You’ll enjoy their intense color and flavor for years to come.
• Pollination: Self-fruitful, but you will get a bigger crop if planted with another apricot.
