Description

Harcot is an attractive, early season, high quality apricot (Prunus armeniaca) with adequate cold hardiness and resistance to bacterial leaf spot [Xanthomonas pruni], brown rot [Monilinia fructicola], and perennial canker [Leucostoma spp.]. It was introduced in 1977 to meet the need in Ontario (Canada) for a better adapted, cold hardy and disease resistant cultivar for the fresh market. The cultivar was released from the breeding program at Agriculture Canada, R.E.C. Layne, Harrow. The original cross (1963) was made by L.F. Hough and C.H. Bailey at Rutgers University.

Key

  • Evaluations are based on a 1-8 scale (6=OK,7=Commercially acceptable, 8=Excellent)
  • Size is in inches
  • Shape: round is assumed, T=tip, P=point, S=suture, OB=oblate, OV=ovate
  • Pubescence: 10=nectarine
  • Blush: presented as percentage of ground color cover with red or similar
  • Freeness: 3=early cling, 8=completely free
  • Status: 0=discard, 1=keep
  • Notes: SOS=soft on suture, SOT=soft on tip, RIF=red in flesh, GAS=green around stem
  • RAP=red around pit, GGC=green ground color, sz=size, wh=white, yt=young tree, CCT=concave tip
  • Bloom date is when approx. 90% of blooms are open (full bloom)

The description of each variety of peach or nectarine fruit under each group is in different formats as this information is collected from varied sources and hence is not consistent
