Planting & Care

Its compact growth is ideal for pot cultivation on a sunny patio or balcony.
A dependable, self-pollinating tree that produces numerous plump, yellow apricots.
The fruit is sweet, juicy, and aromatic, perfect for eating fresh or making jam.
Thrives in warmer UK regions; plant in a sheltered, south-facing spot to protect early, frost-sensitive blossom.
If fruits struggle to ripen, pick them and place them on a sunny windowsill indoors.
Professionally pruned before shipping to encourage a strong, bushy shape.

Latin Name: Prunus armeniaca
Variety: Apricot
Features: Heavy cropper, Self fertile
Taste: Sweet, juicy and aromatic with a real fruity flavour
Uses: Eating, Making Jams
Flowering: February, March
Harvest: August
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. If you can protect its early blossom from frost, then you will ensure a better crop.
Soil: Prefers well drained, loamy soils. Will struggle in poorly draining soil.
Eventual Spread: 4m
Pest & Disease Resistance: Good resistance. Aphids and caterpillars can be washed away with soapy water. Protect fruit from birds with netting. Reduce the risk of bacterial canker by pruning to improve airflow.
Pruning: Prune each winter to maintain a productive shape, improve yields and prevent disease.

Planting Time: Can be planted year-round.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you won't need to water regularly going forward, only in dry spells. Water heavily and less frequently rather than little and often to encourage deep root growth.
Feeding: This is not a hungry plant and does not require feeding.
