Abstract:
Institute of Fruit Production, Skopje has a collection of about 120 introduced and autcethonous varieties and types of apricot where phenology, yield and quality of fruits as well as frost hardiness, diseases etc. are regularly recorded.

Varieties are divided into four groups according to their maturity dates: early, mid-early, mid-late and late. In this paper data of 10 late varieties of apricot ripening at the end of July are given. From these especially are distinguished:

Late Hungarian (a type of Hungarian), blossoms and ripens latest.
