Detailed Information
Apricots (Prunus armeniaca) are native to **Northeast China, Central Asia, and possibly also Korea and Japan**.
While the name “armeniaca” suggests Armenia, this is a misnomer. Apricots were introduced to Europe via Armenia, leading to the name, but the actual origin lies further east.
