Yields an early harvest of large, delicious fruit in early August.
The sizable, juicy fruit is sweet and ideal for eating fresh or making jam.
A dependable variety that thrives even in cooler UK summers.
Self-fertile, so you only need one tree to produce fruit.
Arrives expertly pruned to encourage a strong, bushy shape and prevent legginess.

Species: Apricot (Prunus armeniaca)
Harvest Time: August
Tasting Notes: Juicy, sweet and perfect for Jam
Uses: Eating, Making Jams
Position: Full sun, with shelter
Soil: Prefers well drained, loamy soils but will tolerate less than perfect conditions.
Hardiness: Somewhat Hardy. Fairs better in the south of the UK and in warmer areas. Best grown in a sheltered, south-facing spot to protect its early blossom from frost.
Eventual Size: Height 4.5m x Spread 4m
Pruning: Prune each winter to maintain a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.

Planting: Can be planted at any time of year. Choose a sheltered, south-facing location, ideally against a wall, to protect the vulnerable spring blossom from frost.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. Once established, bare root trees only need watering in dry spells.
Feeding: This is not a hungry plant and does not require feeding.
Pest & Disease: Shows good resistance to common pests and diseases. Wash away aphids or caterpillars with soapy water. Protect the fruit from birds using netting or scarers.
Harvesting: If fruit isn't ripening fully on the tree, pick it and place it on a sunny windowsill indoors.
