🍑 Apricot Tree

The Apricot Tree is a Fruit Tree in Stardew Valley. It grows from an Apricot Sapling, which takes 28 days to mature. Once fully grown, the Apricot Tree produces one Apricot each day during the Spring season. Like all fruit trees, it can also bear fruit year-round if planted in the Greenhouse or on Ginger Island.
