Origin and dissemination of Apricot. Apricots originated on the region stretching from China-to-central Asia from which it has spread to Armenia and then into Europe alongside the “Silk Road”. It is supposed that apricot was introduced into Europe by two ways: by the Romans through the central Asia and by the Arabs through southern Europe (Faust et al. 1998)
