Closely related to Cherry, Plum, Peach, and Almond, Apricot belongs to the Prunus genus and offers many of the attractive qualities that make fruitwoods popular among woodturners and specialty craftsmen.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApricot heartwood may display golden yellow, orange, amber, reddish brown, and warm chocolate-brown tones, often accented by darker streaks or irregular grain patterns.
