Blenheim Apricot Tree Shipped in Soil-10 Inch Container Shipped potted in soil to ensure a healthy start when planted in yard or garden. Trees purchased in soil will be much closer to setting fruit than those purchased bare root....a good value.

Firm, juicy, pale orange flesh. Delicious flavor. Also good for canning and drying. Blenheim apricots are self fertile, ripening late June to Early July.
