Apricot history:
The apricot, Prunus armeniaca, is a species of Prunus, classified with the plum in the subgenus Prunus. The native range is somewhat
uncertain due to its extensive prehistoric cultivation. Its introduction to Greece is attributed to Alexander the Great and the
Roman General Lucullus (106–57 B.C.) also exported some trees – the cherry, white heart cherry, and apricot – from Armenia to Europe.
Subsequent sources were often confused about the origin of the species.
Loudon (1838) believed it had a wide native range including Armenia, Caucasus, the Himalaya, China, and Japan.
Today in Greece, Apricots are planned all over the country. Main production regions are in Makedonia and Thessaly as well as northern Peloponesse.
