Grow your own Mandchurian Apricot (Prunus armeniaca mandshurica), a cold-hardy fruit tree admired for its fragrant pink spring blossoms and flavorful edible apricots.

Native to Manchuria and Korea, this fast-growing deciduous tree reaches 10–20 feet tall with a rounded canopy. In early spring, showy pink flowers bloom before the leaves emerge, providing a beautiful ornamental display even in colder climates where other apricot varieties may not reliably flower.

By late summer, the tree produces small yellow fruits with a red blush. The apricots are edible and excellent for fresh eating, jams, and jellies. The fruit also supports birds and wildlife. In autumn, the foliage turns a brilliant golden-orange, adding seasonal color to your landscape.
