Apricot flowers in the village of Benhama, Kashmir.

Prunus tiliifolia, called the Wild Himalayan apricot and Sweet apricot,^[1] is a deciduous apricot tree found in South-central Asia and East Asia. It is of the family Rosaceae and the genus Prunus.

Its range extends in the Himalayas from Gilgit Baltistan in North Pakistan, to Central Asia, Iran and West Asia. It grows in temperate forest from 1,200–2,400 metres (3,900–7,900 ft) in elevation.^[2]

Apricots have been cultivated in Persia since antiquity, and dried ones were an important commodity on Persian trade routes. Apricots remain an important fruit in modern-day Iran.

An article on Apricot cultivation in Andalusia of Spain is brought down in Ibn al-'Awwam's 12th-century agricultural work, Book on Agriculture.^[3]

Egyptians usually dry apricots, add sweetener, and then use them to make a drink called amar al-dīn.
