{"product_id":"hargrand-apricot","title":"'Hargrand' Semi-Dwarf Apricot","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Hargrand' is a cold-hardy apricot cultivar bred in Canada and prized for its exceptionally large fruit and excellent eating quality. The fruit has firm, fine-textured, juicy flesh with a rich, sweet flavour and a freestone pit, making it excellent for fresh eating as well as preserves, baking and canning. Thinning developing fruit can help produce particularly large apricots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBred at the Harrow Research Station in Ontario, Hargrand was selected for performance in a northern climate. Trees are vigorous and productive, with attractive spring blossoms that provide early forage for pollinators. Hargrand blooms relatively late for an apricot, which can help it avoid some late spring frosts, and the fruit ripens in mid to late summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrees grow best in full sun in a warm, well-drained location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon names:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Hargrand Apricot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdible:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fruit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest timing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late July - early August\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003ePrunus armeniaca\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull-grown size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 12-15' tall x 10-15' wide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zone 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-fertile\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Spring flowers provide forage for bees and other pollinating insects; ripe fruit may attract birds and mammals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bred at the Harrow Research Station in Ontario, Canada and introduced in 1980.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNoteworthy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bred for performance under colder Canadian conditions.
