Title: Apricot Production and Cultivar Situation in California
Authors: L. Burgos and D.W. Ramming
Abstract:
The cultivated acreage of apricot in California
has decreased from 1981 to 1990. Furthermore,
the U.S per capita consumption of apricots has
also declined from 1970 to 1988. The major
apricot cultivars presently grown in California
are 'Blenheim,' 'Tilton,' 'Patterson,' 'Castlebrite,'
'Modesto' and 'Katy.' Some new cultivars being
introduced are 'Earlicot,' 400-AR-l, 'Mesa #1'
and 'Mesa #2.' In addition, some promising
advanced selections from the USDA, ARS
breeding program at Fresno will soon be avail
able.
These improved cultivars will contribute
higher apricot quality and lengthen the season
of production in California.
