Goldstrike
The Goldstrike apricot has large and firm fruit. The pit is medium-large and free from the flesh. Goldstrike trees bloom heavily but fruit set is often moderate to light under natural pollination. This apricot has excellent eating quality. The flesh is light orange, firm, meaty and moderately juicy. Some acidity is associated with the skin. A reddish blush covers up to 20% of the side that is exposed to the sun. It will cross-pollinate with the Goldbar. The fruit is round to slightly oval and is very large when well-thinned. The skin is a light-orange color and slightly glossy. Goldstrike is not suitable for canning. ... find out more
Sonata Matures similar to Golden Delicious. With a firm and finely grained, creamy colored flesh, it is cold hardy and highly precocious and productive. We highly recommend Sonata for hobbyists and home gardeners as this is truly a gourmet apple. The Sonata keeps well in storage, retaining its flavor essences better than Gala. It is a very attractive apple, with a bright, pinkish red blush over a yellow background. Primary assets are the combined excellent cosmetics with a pleasant exciting flavor. Sonata apple trees have low to medium vigor. |
