Robada This large, early apricot is gaining popularity among commercial growers. It bears flavorful fruit that has a sweet bouquet. The flesh is firm and ripens to a deep orange. The sun-exposed cheek develops a deep red blush. The fruit ships well. This is another variety hailing from the California ARS. Goldstrike™ Another introduction from the Prosser Center, this variety is a regular and productive bearer. The fruit is large and firm with orange flesh and the skin color is light orange overlaid by a reddish-purple blush. Goldstrike™ has excellent eating quality and can be shipped to distant markets. Goldstrike™ will cross-pollinate with Goldbar™. Goldbar™ This distinctive variety, another Prosser introduction, bears large to very large fruit of excellent quality and flavor. Goldbar™ is well-adapted for shipment to fresh markets because of its firmness, shelf life, and dessert quality. The flesh color and skin color are similar to Goldstrike™. Goldrich Ripens six to ten days before Wenatchee Moorpark. The fruit resembles Sun Glo in appearance but develops a bright waxy-orange ground color. Trees are vigorous and productive. Goldrich is more resistant to winter injury than Wenatchee Moorpark. Requires pollination, but cannot be pollinated by Perfection. Goldcot An open-pollinated seedling of Perfection, the fruit is medium-sized and nearly round. The color of the skin, which is moderately tough and thick, is golden and the flesh is firm and medium-orange in color. Rival A large, oval fruit with light orange skin with a red blush. The flesh is orange with a smooth texture, low acid, and mild flavor. Rival ripens three to five days after Goldrich. The tree is vigorous and productive. Rival requires cross-pollination. Perfection One of the finest commercial apricots, Perfection bears moderately early and produces large fruit. The flesh and skin are colored a bright orange-yellow and the fruit has firm texture and is a good shipper. Requires cross-pollination, but will not pollinate Goldrich. Chinese The skin and flesh are yellow to medium-orange. The fruit is of good quality, medium to large in size, and has a good flavor. Chinese is an early bearing, heavy producing variety that is self-fruitful and will pollinate other apricot varieties. Wenatchee Moorpark A large yellow fruit with greenish-yellow flesh. Good for drying and home canning. The tree is self-fruitful, very productive, and a good pollinator for later blooming apricots.
