Précoce de Saumur suits temperate and relatively cool regions when planted in a sunny, sheltered position. We recommend it to gardeners seeking a very early crop from a single tree. It is self-fertile, productive and bears fine, melting, sweet and highly fragrant fruit from early summer. The flesh is less juicy than that of some other apricot varieties.

As the name suggests, this is an early-season apricot, originating from the region around Saumur in the Loire valley.
The apricots ripen early around the end of June or early July. The fruits are juicy with a pleasant flavour, and a yellow flesh.
The fruits are excellent for eating fresh, and also for use in typical French patisserie desserts.
