aka Japanese Flowering Apricot

Flowering Japanese Apricot. Masses of fragrant, double rose pink blooms will delight in late winter early spring. The blooms are followed by small 'apricot' fruits that while technically edible are not 'scrumdelicious'. Plant in a sunny well drained spot and do any pruning in summer.

This ornamental Apricot was introduced to the USA in 1941 by Mr W D Clarke and is named after one of his daughters.
