Polonais is a late apricot tree variety from Provence in France. It produces rounded to oval fruit of golden yellow skin with orange cheeks and some red freckles. The flesh is sweet and juicy, mildly aromatic and medium firm which makes it ideal for making preserves apart from eating fresh. Maturity time is in August in C.E. conditions.

It is self-fertile (needs no other tree to pollinate its flowers) and productive but will benefit from a different variety grown nearby. Apricot trees are best with no pruning. Still, if you need to cut it do so after flowering when leaves are borne, or immediately after harvest. This way it will have enough time to produce new twigs and flower buds for the following year.

The tree grows moderately vigorously into an evenly upright and spreading canopy. It needs a sunny and warm place sheltered from strong winds, and good, humus-rich soil. Hardy to about -26°C (USDA zone 5b).
