Perfection Apricot

Perfection is a real, documented chance seedling, originated by a grower named J. Goldbeck in Waterville, Washington, in 1937. It bears moderately early, ripening just a few days ahead of Blenheim, also documented in this database, and produces large fruit with bright orange-yellow skin and flesh, firm texture, and real, documented good shipping quality. It genuinely requires cross-pollination from a second variety to set fruit — but growers should specifically know it will not successfully pollinate Goldrich, also documented in this database, despite Goldrich itself having been bred in part from Perfection's own genetics, a real, documented pollination incompatibility worth planning around when choosing orchard companions.
