Manchurian apricot is a small tree 15 to 20 feet tall. It has a beautiful pinkish flower that blooms in the spring before the leaves emerge, and the leaves turn a nice yellow-orange color in the fall. The fruit provides food for wildlife during the fall but the tree seldom produces fruit in the west due to its early blooming habits. It can be used for one of the outer rows in multi-row windbreaks.
