The tree will thrive protected from wind that still receives full sunlight. They are native to west Asia. Hardy Apricot are self-pollinating, though will produce best when in presence of other species in the Prunus genus, such as wild black cherry, choke cherry, and american plum.

A healthy apricot tree can live from 20 to 30 years.
