This Algerian apricot wascharacterized by a green-yellow skin, a red ground color, and a light orange flesh color in general. Besides, highlypositive and negative significant correlations were revealed between the studied characters. Whereby, the principalcomponent analysis explained 81% of the variability. Fruit, stone and leaves dimensions were the main features thatexplained evidentially the majority of variability. Moreover, the cluster analysis divided the accessions into two majorgroups. Thus, Algerian accessions selected in this study may have the potential to be used in apricot breeding programsin the future.
