Product Specifications
- Variant height_on_arrival: 120-150cm inc. pot
- Variant rootstock: Myrobalan rootstock (grows up to 5m)
- Variant eventual_height: 5m
- Variant supplied_as: 9L Eco Pot
- Variant supplied_as_expanded: This tree is supplied in a 9L Eco Pot, which is approx W15 x H30cm. Eco Pots use 70% less plastic than traditional pots and can be recycled easily. A 9L pot allows ample space for good root development and can support a good size tree.
- Variant watering: Water in well when planting - read on for ongoing care
- Variant watering_expanded: Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you won't need to water regularly going forward, only water in dry spells when needed. You should be able to tell because the leaves will start to wilt and droop. If a container grown tree, it will need more watering until its roots are established. It should be watered every other day or so for the first few months. Then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year it should have an established enough root system to support itself, just water when required as explained above for bare roots. When watering a tree it is important to give a good soaking. It is better to water heavy and less frequently than little and often as this encourages the roots to grow down into the ground.
- Variant feeding: No need to feed
- Variant feeding_expanded: Don't worry, this isn't a hungry plant so your food bills won't be going up!
- Variant time_to_first_crop: 2 Years
- Variant time_to_first_crop_expanded: You may see your first Apricots after 2 years but you should not expect to see substantial crops for another 2-3 years after that
- Variant rootstock_expanded: 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. Myrobalan Apricot trees tend to reach 4.5m 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
