Abstract

A new and distinct variety of apricot ( Prunus armeniaca L.) named ‘Twocot’, particularly characterized by its white flesh of medium-sized fruit; upright trees with self-incompatible flowers; consistent fruit productivity during early June in California's Central San Joaquin Valley; aromatic fruit with balanced levels of sugar and fruit acid; and a late bloom interval.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of apricot tree, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its vigorous vegetative growth on upright to slightly spreading tree form, consistent and productive bearer of medium-sized, freestone fruit with white flesh, self-incompatible flowers that bloom late relative to other apricot cultivars, mature fruit that are aromatic with an attractive skin blush on sun-exposed surfaces, hanging well on a tree after maturity and mid-season fruit harvest.
