The Goldrich Apricot tree is an apricot variety introduced by Dr. Harold W. Fogle in 1954 at the Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center in Prosser, Washington State University. It is a cross between Sunglo and Perfection varieties. The fruit is large in size and oval with nearly equal halves of bright orange, waxy skin with almost no blush. The ground color must be allowed to develop fully to assure low acidity. The fruit has a fine texture with excellent flavor. Trees are vigorous and productive. The Goldrich apricot tree is more resistant to winter injury than Wenatchee Moorpark. Trees are cold hardy for Zone 5, vigorous, and productive. This apricot tree variety requires pollination. Note that it cannot be pollinated by Perfection variety.

General Tree Height/Caliper: Most of our fruit trees (apple, peach, apricot, plum, pear, nectarine, quince, and cherry) are grafted/budded and are 4-6' tall with a caliper/diameter of about 1/4-3/4". Most have more than 5' height and 1/2" diameter. The other trees are seedlings, such as pawpaw, mulberry, persimmon, shade, berry, and flowering trees which range from 18-36" tall.
