Planting & Care

Enjoy tasty, juicy apricots from a slim, upright cordon tree, perfect for small gardens and sunny spots.
Choose 'Flavorcot' for sweet, self-pollinating fruits ideal for eating fresh, or 'Tomcot' for large harvests that are excellent for drying.
Your tree arrives expertly trained into a cordon shape, requiring only simple annual pruning to maintain its form and productivity.

Species: Apricot
Habit: Your cordon apricot tree has been trained into a single upright trunk, from which short fruiting spurs branch off horizontally.
Flower Colour: White blossoms tinged with pink appear in early spring.
Flowering Time: April, May
Harvest Time: August
Position: Full sun
Hardiness: Hardy (H4). Your cordon apricot tree will tend to fare better in warmer areas. It's best grown in a sheltered spot, preferably south-facing. If you're able to protect its blossom from frost, then this will give you a better crop.
Soil Type: Plant your cordon apricot tree in soil that drains well but that still retains some moisture. If your soil is on the slightly acidic side, even better!
Self-fertile: Variety dependent. 'Flavorcot' is self-pollinating.
Pest & Disease Resistance: Good pest and disease resistance. Your cordon apricot tree might suffer from issues like canker in prolonged wet weather, and from a pest perspective, aphids and caterpillars can be a nuisance.
Uses: Eating fresh, drying and baking.

Planting Time: Can be planted year-round.
Spacing: Plant 60cm apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Water well when establishing. Well-established cordon apricots don't need a lot of extra watering except for in hot, dry weather. However, more regular watering is recommended throughout your tree's first growing season.
Feeding: At the end of winter, give your cordon apricot tree a good feed with fertiliser that's high in potassium.
Pruning: Prune every summer to retain the trained shape. In late summer (around August), trim shoots longer than 20cm, cutting them back to a single leaf just beyond the basal cluster of leaves. If spurs become too crowded on older trees, thin out some of the less productive ones during winter.

Product Specifications

Supplied as: Cordon tree in a 9L pot.
Height on Arrival: 120-150cm
Eventual Height: With proper pruning, your cordon apricot tree can be kept to a manageable height of between 1.5 and 2 metres tall.
Eventual Spread: Spreads approximately 0.5m.
Time to First Crop: Your cordon apricot tree might produce some fruit within the first couple of years of planting, though it might take a little longer before you see more significant yields.
Rootstock: Grown on St. Julien A rootstock. This limits the tree's height, making it perfect for smaller spaces or growing in a pot.
