Planting & Care

Enjoy exceptionally sweet, juicy, and aromatic apricots, perfect for eating fresh or using in desserts.
Part of the reliable "Cot" series, renowned for producing abundant harvests.
Conveniently self-pollinating, so you only need one tree to enjoy a crop.
Thrives in warmer UK regions; plant in a sheltered, sunny spot (like against a south-facing wall) to protect early blossoms from frost.
A handy tip: bring any under-ripe fruit indoors to a sunny windowsill to finish sweetening.
Available on two rootstocks: a standard SJA for a 4m tree in your garden, or a compact Patio version (1.5m) perfect for pots.
Arrives as a young tree (18-36 months old), professionally pruned to encourage strong, bushy growth.
Delivered in our innovative EcoPots™, which use 70% less plastic, are fully recyclable, and reduce root spiraling.

Species: Apricot
Latin Name: Prunus armeniaca
Features: Self fertile
Harvest Time: July, August, September
Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Position: Full sun, with shelter
Hardiness: Somewhat Hardy. Fairs better in the south of the UK and in warmer areas. Best grown in a sheltered spot, preferably south-facing. Protecting its early blossom from frost will ensure a better crop.
Soil Type: Prefers well-drained, loamy soils. Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but may not fruit too well. Will struggle in poorly draining soil.
Eventual Spread: 2m
Tasting Notes: Sweet, juicy and aromatic with a real fruity flavour.
Uses: Eating, Making Jams

Pruning: Some structural pruning should be done each winter to ensure that your Apricot tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.
Pest & Disease: Shows good resistance. You may see some damage from aphids and caterpillars, which can both be washed away with soapy water. Birds will eat the apricots if given the chance so use a fruit net or bird scarers. Reduce the risk of bacterial canker by pruning to improve airflow and removing rotting organic matter nearby.
Pollination: Doesn't require a pollination partner to produce fruit. Pollination groups relate to the time of the year when a tree flowers. Trees that flower at the same time can pollinate each other, which can still improve yields even if they are self-fertile. Trees can usually pollinate a group either side of their own; i.e "2" can Pollinate 1, 2, and 3.
