* Because of the length of the word "Apricorn", only the [[Red Apricorn]] is able to have its full color name in English prior to [[Generation VI]], with the other six having abbreviated versions because item names are limited to 12 characters (including spaces). Starting in Generation VI, item names can be longer, and the Apricorns are all spelled out in full in English (although they were not made available until [[Generation VIII]]). In all generations in Japanese, abbreviation is used only for the [[Green Apricorn]], which uses みど ''mido'' as an abbreviated form of みどり ''midori'', green. | * Because of the length of the word "Apricorn", only the [[Red Apricorn]] is able to have its full color name in English prior to [[Generation VI]], with the other six having abbreviated versions because item names are limited to 12 characters (including spaces).

* In Generation IV, if an Apricorn tree is left bare and on-screen without turning the game off over [[Time|midnight]], the plant will sparkle (in the same way [[Berry]] plants do when advancing a stage) and an Apricorn will appear on it. If the game was in sleep mode (the [[Nintendo DS]] was closed) over midnight, this will happen as soon as the game is taken out of sleep mode. | * In Generation IV, if an Apricorn tree is left bare and on-screen without turning the game off over [[Time|midnight]], the plant will sparkle (in the same way [[Berry]] plants do when advancing a stage) and an Apricorn will appear on it.
