Apricots
Dramatic spring blossoms, very early, attractive heart-shaped leaves, sweet rounded fruits, picturesque dark limbs in winter - Apricot trees (Prunus armeniaca) are a beautiful sight across seasons. Widely popular for their sweet fruits, they require some pruning and attention to pests, but the extra work pays off in bountiful, juicy, homegrown apricots.
