Description:
The developed by the by the Agriculture Canada Research Station in Morden Manitoba. Scout is the maternal parent to "M-604" and is a reliable producer on its own but is more productive with a cross pollinator. The fruit is a juicy, golden, freestone, that ripens in early August. The tree is disease resistant but grows to about 15 feet tall in northern Alberta and is not quite as hardy as Westcot so it needs a more sheltered location. The fruit is 4-5cm in length and is golden yellow in colour and excellent for jams jellies and preserves but can be messy if the fruit drops on the driveway or sidewalk. The Scout Apricot produces a myriad of non-fragrant pink flowers in early May before the leaves come out. The green foilage is nondescript and the leaves turn poplar yellow in the fall.
