{"product_id":"white-knockout-apricot-tree-semi-dwarf","title":"White Knockout Apricot Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhite Knockout offers a striking departure from the familiar orange apricot, producing pale, creamy fruit with dessert-quality flavor and an elegant appearance. The medium-sized apricots contain tender white flesh that is intensely sweet, richly aromatic, and notably low in the sharper acidity found in many traditional varieties. That lush character makes the fruit especially memorable eaten fresh, when its perfume and delicate coloring can take center stage, but it also brings an unusual twist to jam, pastries, preserves, and summer fruit plates. Showy spring flowers add beauty before the light-colored crop develops against green foliage. For collectors and home growers seeking an apricot that feels genuinely different rather than merely new, White Knockout delivers a distinctive combination of visual contrast, fragrance, and concentrated sweetness. It can become both a conversation piece in the orchard and a favorite at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a full-sun site with excellent drainage and good canopy airflow. The confirmed sheet lists Nemaguard rootstock. Prune to keep the canopy open, provide consistent moisture while fruit develops, and harvest gently because tender, pale fruit can show handling marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhite Knockout is self-fruitful and can bear as a single tree. Another compatible apricot nearby can increase bee activity, may support a larger crop, and adds contrasting color, acidity, and harvest timing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhite Knockout Apricot Tree Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-sized pale, creamy apricots with white flesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor and texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tender, intensely sweet, rich, aromatic, and low in acidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium fresh eating, fruit plates, jam, pastries, and preserves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e May through June, with timing varying by region and season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChill hours:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 400–600 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTree size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-dwarf on Nemaguard rootstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-fruitful; another compatible apricot may increase production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended pollinizers or companions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Consider \u003ca href=\"\/products\/apricot-gold-kist-zaiger-semi-dwarf\"\u003eGold Kist\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/katy-apricot-tree\"\u003eKaty\u003c\/a\u003e, or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/royal-blenheim-apricot-tree\"\u003eRoyal Blenheim\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun, excellent drainage, open-canopy pruning, and gentle handling at harvest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSomething special:\u003c\/strong\u003e White-fleshed apricots are prized for floral perfume and exceptional sweetness, offering a very different experience from familiar orange varieties.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrchard Planning Resources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/bare-root-tree-selection-guide\"\u003eBare Root Tree Selection Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/planting-bare-root-trees-for-beginners-a-comprehensive-guide\"\u003eHow to Plant Bare Root Trees\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1Rdt4TYt4fE0vpvNhXDgewxzwx4hg8xQc8_14DbtDKNc\/edit?usp=drivesdk\"\u003eFruit and Nut Tree Characteristics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vRTawkXXtycdiTxe58p-gVjdAzuxvNCc7sZ9wri56m0rgvBQIbRObXuK2hSdDHL08ev0R3uzcupme6D\/pubhtml\"\u003eTree Rootstock Characteristics Chart\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Grow Organic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39848594571377,"sku":"FT347","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/products\/white-knockout-apricot-B.jpg?v=1747081473","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/white-knockout-apricot-tree-semi-dwarf","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
