The Story :
The apricot tree is a fruit tree of the Rosaceae family, the same family as the peach, cherry and almond trees. It is cultivated for its fruit, apricot, in many parts of the world.
This tree sometimes reaches a height of 6 metres when optimal conditions are met, its bark is dark brown and its foliage is lush.
Its name has several origins, initially deriving from the Latin “Praecoquum”, which means “early fruit”, due to its early spring flowering. It will then keep the same meaning in Arabic, “āl-barqwq” and will gradually approach the French form of today via Spanish and Catalan.
Although it has long been considered to come from Armenia, it actually comes from China, like fishing.
