Apricot trees are deciduous fruit trees that belong to the genus Prunus. They typically grow to a height of 8 to 12 meters and produce beautiful white or pink flowers in spring. The trees thrive in well-drained soil and require full sunlight for optimal growth. The fruit of the apricot tree is small, round, and usually orange or yellow in color. Apricots are rich in vitamins A and C, making them a healthy snack. These trees are commonly cultivated in temperate regions around the world, particularly in California and parts of Turkey.
