Additional Notes
Late-ripening Autumn Royal Apricot is subject to pit-burn fruit spoilage when summer high temperatures exceed 100°, so is not recommended for hot-summer inland climates such as California's Central Valley.
WHILE DWARFING ROOTSTOCKS HAVE IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES, ROOTSTOCKS SHOULD BE SELECTED PRIMARILY FOR ADAPTABILITY TO THE SOIL AND CLIMATE OF THE PLANTING SITE. For the 2018-19 planting season, Autumn Royal is offered on the following rootstock(s) (listed in order of quantity in production, largest quantity first):
