Full sun, Zone 4 Prunus armeniaca 'Goldcot' Pot size #5 (3' whip) Known for its semi-dwarf size and for the fact that its self-pollinating, Goldcot is ideal for smaller spaces or high density orchards. The fruit has a mild tangy flavour, making it good for fresh eating and canning, and it is somewhat drier than other apricot varieties. Very dependable and productive producer. Though cold-hardy, Goldcot is a bit borderline for our Alberta climate (hardy to -30 degrees), so it requires a more sheltered location and would do better in a warmer micro-climate. As such this variety is not recommended for novice orchardists. Goldcot is self-fertile, but would be more productive with a second culitvar, such as Casino, Manchurian, Debbie's Gold, Westcot, Arctic Dawn, or Goldcot. 15' tall x 12' wide
