The Japanese Apricot is extremely hardy and has been grown for hundreds of years, the fruits a traditional food in the Far-East, used as a flavouring in alcohol, used in juices, in sauces and as a pickle. The edible fruits turn yellow when ripe, however they do have an acidic taste. The foliage turns orange and yellow in Autumn. Easy to grow, not fussy to soil conditions and prefers full sun. It is suitable for pot growing.
