Chinese apricot trees are prized for their resilience and sweet, juicy fruit. The medium-sized apricots have golden-orange skin with a slight blush and firm, flavorful flesh, making them ideal for fresh eating, drying, and preserves. This hardy variety thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, requiring moderate to high chill hours, and performs well in regions with cold winters. Chinese apricot trees are self-fruitful and bloom early in the season, showcasing delicate pink-white flowers that add ornamental value. With its adaptability, cold tolerance, and consistently delicious fruit, the Chinese apricot is a reliable choice for home orchards.

  • Facts of note: The Chinese Mormon Apricot, also known as a Sweet pit or Sweet Kernel Apricot, has a very limited history, but the era that it comes into popularity may reflect on why. It begins with the Gold Rush in California and ends up at Promontory Summit, Utah Territory with the driving of the Golden Spike to join the Transcontinental Railroad. The Apricot kernels have long been used in Chinese medicine to treat colds, coughs and stomach ailments. It also traces back to the Hunza population, using the sweet pit Apricots for eating and Bitter pits varieties for oils used in cooking and lighting. Although more recent research has cautioned against the use of the bitter pit Apricots for health purposes. This is due to the highly lethal chemical compound amygdalin and the difficulty in determining dosage. The Sweet pits selections are very low in amygdalin and not toxic. Cold hardy and widely adapted the Chinese Mormon Apricot has become very popular in cold country selection doing well where other apricot varieties fail. Good flavor and texture along with heavy production are all common features of this variety.

Nice oak corner shelf but check your measurements first
5 stars for the shelf, 3 stars for myself :-) This is a well-made oak corner shelf that looks great where I put it. The wood is nice quality and the construction is solid. Before you order though, do yourself a favor and check two things: 1) Make sure the size is actually big enough for what you need, and 2) Check that your corner is actually a true 90-degree angle. Turns out mine isn't perfectly square and now I'm trying to figure out how to position this thing properly. Good product overall, just wish I'd measured more carefully before ordering.

i’ve been wanting this shelf for quite some time and finally decided I’m doing it. I’m absolutely completely satisfied with the size the quality of the wood and the paint job. It’s made very well. I have to say I was surprised at how nicely sanded it was and ready to hang.

Easy install
Just installed in our bathroom. Feels solid. We have a potted plant on it now. You will want a drill bit extender to clear the shelf. I use the flexible type. Otherwise you won’t be able to get the screws in at a 90 degree angle.
