apricot trees
Prunus armeniaca specimens
Apricot trees are fruit trees of the genus *Prunus* that produce apricots—small, orange-fleshed stone fruits with velvety skin.
Native to Central Asia, they thrive in temperate climates with cold winters and warm, dry summers.
The trees bloom early in spring, making them vulnerable to late frosts: The apricot trees flowered before the last freeze and lost most of their crop.
