Comments: 'Peggy Clark' is a very outstanding winter flowering tree in the deep South, flowering in late January and February. The flower buds open in sequence with the bottom ones opening first. Even where there is freezing weather, it is seldom that many of the flower buds are killed. An almond-like fragrance is produced by the semi-double pink flowers. Flowering apricots are tolerant of dry soils.
