Planting & Care

A new, heavy-cropping 'Tomcot' variety, yielding abundant fruit in optimal conditions.
Produces large, red-blushed yellow apricots with a delicious sweet taste.
Self-fertile, so a pollination partner is not required.
The slender tree is ideal for fan training against a wall or fence.
Harvest your homegrown apricots in August.
Best suited to warmer areas of the UK in a sheltered, south-facing position to protect the frost-sensitive spring flowers.
Available on Myrobalan rootstock (H4.5m x W4m) for gardens or as a very compact Patio tree (H1.5m x W1m) for pots.
Supplied in EcoPots™ using 70% less plastic and professionally pruned for a strong start.

Latin Name: Prunus armeniaca
Type: Apricot
Variety: Tomcot
Features: Heavy cropper, Self-fertile
Flowering: April, May
Harvest: August
Hardiness: Somewhat Hardy. Fairs better in the south of the UK. Best grown in a sheltered, south-facing spot to protect early blossom from frost.
Position: Full sun, with shelter
Soil: Prefers well-drained, loamy soils. Will struggle in poorly draining soil.
Eventual Spread: 4m (Myrobalan Rootstock)
Tasting Notes: Sweet, fruity flavour
Uses: Eating, Making Jams

Planting Time: Can be planted year-round.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, only water in dry spells once established. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often.
Feeding: This is not a hungry plant and does not require feeding.
Pruning: Some structural pruning should be done each winter to maintain a productive shape, improve yields and prevent disease. Trees are professionally pruned before shipping.
Pest & Disease: 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.
