About Prunus armeniaca ‘Madrigal’
The Prunus armeniaca ‘Madrigal’ is a self-pollinating apricot tree known for its high yield and large, sweet fruit. In early spring, the tree blooms profusely with white-pink blossoms, after which the firm, juicy apricots ripen later in the summer. The fruits are aromatic, store well, and are suitable for eating fresh or processing. For optimal growth and fruit development, this variety prefers a sunny, warm, and sheltered location in well-drained soil.
Quality of the Apricot
The fruits of Prunus armeniaca ‘Madrigal’ weigh an average of 80 to 100 grams. They are large, firm, and feature a striking red blush on their orange-colored skin. The juicy flesh is sweet, aromatic, and has an excellent flavor. The apricots are suitable for eating fresh, but are also ideal for jam, desserts, and other preparations. Because of its later ripening, it’s ideal to plant alongside an earlier-ripening apricot variety so that fresh apricots can be harvested over a longer period.
