Apricot 'Clutha Gold'

Apricot 'Clutha Gold' Details

“Clutha Gold” is a variety of Apricot that produces orange fruit with a slight red blush in summer. The large-sized fruit are firm with an intense flavour. It is self-pollinating so does not require another variety planted close by to produce fruit. This deciduous tree typically grows to 5 m tall and 4 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost and cool climates though a late frost in spring can reduce yields. “Clutha Gold” is commonly grown as a specimen or added to a mixed planting with the added advantage of fruit production.
