Autumn Glo Apricot

✓ Verified

California, USA

Autumn Glo was bred in California specifically to ripen later than standard apricot varieties, extending the harvest season into a period when fresh apricots are otherwise largely unavailable — a genuine commercial gap that late-season breeding aimed to fill as California's stone fruit industry diversified its offerings across a longer selling window.
