These amazing white-fleshed apricots are unlike any fruit we've ever tried before, and must be tasted to be believed! The good news is, Sugar Pearls™ blooms much later than all other apricot varieties - so even if you were too far North to grow apricots before - now's your chance!

Apricot Tree Pollination for Optimum Fruit Production
Sugar Pearls is considered self-fertile or self-pollinating. But to maximize fruit production, use of a pollinator is highly recommended by our breeder. Use one of following:
- Honey Pearls Nectacot.
- Harlayne, Jerseycot or any other late blooming apricot, so they bloom in same season.
No more than 50' spacing is recommended for pollination, but further may work ok.
