Planting & Care

Its compact growth is ideal for pot cultivation, allowing you to place it on a sunny patio or balcony and bring it inside during cold snaps.
A dependable and heavy cropper, yielding numerous plump, yellow apricots.
The fruit is sweet, juicy, and aromatic – delightful eaten fresh from the tree or made into excellent jam.
Self-pollinating, so you only need one tree to get a crop of fruit.
Arrives professionally pruned to encourage a strong, bushy shape and healthy growth.
Supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic and is fully recyclable.

Latin Name: Prunus armeniaca
Variety: Apricot
Features: Heavy cropper, Self-fertile
Taste: Sweet, juicy and aromatic with a real fruity flavour
Uses: Eating fresh, making jams
Flowering: February - March
Harvest: August
Planting: Can be planted all year round
Position: Full sun, with shelter
Hardiness: Somewhat hardy. Fairs better in the south of the UK. Best grown in a sheltered, south-facing spot to protect early blossom from frost.
Soil: Prefers well-drained, loamy soil. Will struggle in poorly draining soil.
Eventual Spread: 4m

Planting: Plant in a sheltered spot, like against a south-facing wall, to protect the frost-sensitive spring blooms.
Watering: Water thoroughly when planting. Water every other day for the first few months, reducing to twice a week until autumn. Once established, water only during dry spells. It's better to water heavily and less frequently.
Feeding: This plant does not require feeding.
Pruning: Some structural pruning should be done each winter to maintain a productive shape and improve yields.
Pest & Disease: Good resistance. Wash away aphids or caterpillars with soapy water. Protect fruit from birds with netting. Pruning to improve airflow helps reduce the risk of bacterial canker.
Harvesting Tip: If fruits struggle to ripen on the tree, pick them and place them on a sunny windowsill indoors to mature.
