Hargrand Apricot Tree

Big fruit, bold flavor, and cold-hardy confidence

Hargrand is a Canadian-bred apricot that thrives where most apricots struggle — delivering large, richly flavored fruit even in northern climates. With its late bloom time and exceptional cold hardiness, it’s a top choice for growers looking to push the apricot boundary northward.

Why Grow Hargrand?

• Cold-Hardy Performer – Bred in Ontario to withstand harsh winters and late spring frosts. Ideal for Zones 4–7.
• Large, Flavorful Fruit – One of the biggest apricots available, with firm, orange flesh and a bold, sweet-tart flavor.
• Late Blooming – Avoids early frost damage, increasing reliability in cooler regions.
• Self-Fertile Convenience – Sets fruit without a pollinator, though yields improve with a companion variety.
• Versatile Use – Excellent for fresh eating, drying, preserves, and baking.

Growing Details:

• Zones: 4–7
• Chill Hours: 700–900
• Ripening: Mid to late July
• Pollination: Self-fertile (better yields with another apricot nearby)

Perfect For:

• Northern growers seeking a reliable apricot
• Gardeners who want large, flavorful fruit with minimal fuss
• Landscapes that benefit from spring blossoms and summer bounty
