Planting & Care

Cordon-trained to a slim, upright shape, perfect for smaller gardens, patios, and sunny walls.
Arrives expertly pre-trained into the ideal cordon form, requiring only simple annual pruning.
The 'Flavorcot' variety is self-pollinating, producing sweet, juicy apricots perfect for eating fresh from the tree.
The 'Tomcot' variety yields heavy crops of large fruits that are excellent for drying and storing.
Produces stunning white blossoms tinged with pink in early spring.

Species: Apricot
Features: Self fertile
Flowering Time: April, May
Harvest Time: August
Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Flower Colour: White blossoms tinged with pink appear in early spring.
Position: Full sun
Eventual Spread: Spreads approximately 0.5m.
Habit: Your cordon apricot tree has been trained into a single upright trunk, from which short fruiting spurs branch off horizontally.
Hardiness: 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!
Uses: Eating fresh, drying and baking

Product Specifications

Height on Arrival: 120-150cm
Supplied As: Bare Root
Rootstock: Apricot varieties are usually grown by grafting them to rootstocks. This has benefits for pest resistance, genetics and the efficiency of propagation. Importantly, it also limits the height of a tree to a more manageable, specific height. SJA Apricot trees tend to only reach 4m tall, perfect for smaller spaces or those afraid of stepladders. They can also be trained to a smaller size by pruning or restricting the roots, by keeping in a smaller pot.
