About Apricots
Apricots grow on trees that can reach 7 metres in height. They look like opened umbrellas when fully mature, with a canopy of dark green leaves which glisten in the sun. As the apricot trees age, their bark grows dark and often becoming twisted and gnarled but this doesn’t stop them producing tender, young apricot fruit.
Apricots grow to about the size of a ping pong ball, but can come in different shapes from plump or round to oval. Their skin ranges in colour from pale yellow to orange. Some often flush with pink or red.
