This present invention relates to an apricot tree, Prunus armeniaca, and more specifically to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium size vigorous, semi hardy with good production. This tree does need pollinization. `Castlebright` and `Patterson` are apricot varieties (unpatented) and are usually equally as pollenized. Under the environmental conditions in Central California San Joaquin Valley the fruit matures in mid May, 2005. The fruit is medium sized, with good orange color, orange yellow flesh color, firm with a good flavor. The fruit matures at least 10 days before the `Patterson` variety, having more red blush on mature fruit. This variety is a second generation seedling of unknown parentage.
