Description:
The apricot could be a tiny tree, 8–12 m (26–39 ft) tall, with a trunk up to forty cm (16 in) in ovate, 5–9 cm (2.0–3.5 in) long and 4–8 cm (1.6–3.1 in) wide, with a rounded base, a pointed tip and a finely toothed margin. The flowers square measure 2–4.5 cm (0.8–1.8 in) in diameter, with 5 white to chromatic petals; they\'re made separately or in pairs in early spring before the leaves. The fruit could be a stone fruit like atiny low peach, 1.5–2.5 cm (0.6–1.0 in) diameter (larger in some trendy cultivars), from yellow to orange, typically touched red on the aspect most exposed to the sun; its surface are often sleek (botanically delineated as: glabrous) or velvety with terribly short hairs (botanically: pubescent). The flesh is sometimes firm and not . the only seed is embowered in an exceedingly exhausting, stony shell, typically known as a \"stone\", with a granular, sleek texture aside from 3 ridges running down one aspect.
