A very beautiful heirloom apple that stores well.
AC™ Haroblush Apricot on Myrobalan (Spring 2025)
A beautiful early-midseason, cold-hardy apricot .
This tree is vigorous, productive, and cold hardy - hardier than Veecot. It is the last of the Harrow series to bloom, which will appeal to cold-climate growers. It is resistant to bacterial spot and canker. AC™ Haroblush is also self-fertile, but crops will be improved by the presence of a pollenizer. Ripening about four days after Harcot, the fruit is medium sized, oblong, and orange with a very attractive pink-red blush. Crack free, it is smooth skinned and freestone, with firm flesh.
AC™ Haroblush was released by the Canadian breeding program at Harrow, Ontario in 2000, the same year as AC™ Harojoy and AC™ Harostar were introduced. AC™ Haroblush is an offspring of Harglow and Harcot.
