Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

Gorgeous creamy-yellow skinned fruit, the Canadian White Blenheim Apricot Tree (Prunus armeniaca 'Canadian White Blenheim') has been called one of the best-tasting Apricots around! Winning awards year after year, it becomes covered in small rounded fruits that are syrupy sweet!
White Apricot Trees are highly productive and resistant to Plum Pox virus, so they’re highly rated for home orchards! They’re also gorgeous flowering landscape ornamentals with their drifts of frilly pink blossoms that are delightfully fragrant! Soon the fruit develops and looks like glowing golden gems among the glossy green leaves!
Pollinator-friendly, be sure to plant Canadian White Apricot with a pollinator partner, so plant another late-blooming variety close by for a larger crop per tree. Also known in China where it originates, as the Dabaixing Apricot, these are unique specialty crops. Perfect for fresh eating, freezing, dried or made into preserves!
Planting and Application:
With a smaller than average mature height and width, these are ideal for home orchards and landscapes, where these ornamental trees provide great shade and specimen accents! The drifts of pink blossoms and glowing golden orbs, make them fantastic front yard trees that we’re sure everyone will slow down to have a look at least twice a year!
Blenheim Apricot Tree does need a pollinator so plant this and another tree in groups for shade and privacy, or in hedgerows of other fruit trees, and of course in your very own orchard! Prune smaller to accommodate smaller yards or tuck into existing landscapes.
- Super Sweet White Flesh
- Pale-Yellow Smooth Skin

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Apricot trees and other fruit need at least 6 hours of full sun per day for the most flowers and fruit. Provide a location that has good air circulation and well-drained enriched soil. Fruit trees need moderate, yet consistent moisture during the growing season as well. Otherwise, you’ll enjoy a low-maintenance tree!
- Full Sun
- Prune When Dormant & Mulch Well
- Disease & Virus Resistant
- Well-Drained Soil, Average Moisture & Fertility
- ~ 700 Chill Hours
