"Har- series apricots, were developed at the Harrow, Ontario station of Agriculture Canada to be productive and survive in the Great Lakes area. They are characterized by good disease resistance, resistance to fluctuating winter temperatures, and good fruit quality, and moderate cold-hardiness (to -30F). Harcot is the most cold-tender of them and is not recommended for anywhere in MN. Harglow is considerably more cold-hardy, and in increasing order of cold hardiness you have Hargrand, Harogem, and Harlayne."..."Harlayne is not self-fruitful. The other Harrow apricots are self fruitful."


Harlayne has fantastic flavor, at least here. Harogem and Hargrand, not so much.
