Tips for Care:

Apricot trees need the full sun to do their best, tolerating heat and cold well. Provide a fertile site that is very well-drained and has adequate moisture throughout the growing season. Birds also adore this fruit tree so cover your harvest with netting so they don’t make off with all your harvest.

• Heat tolerant trees only requiring 400-500 Chill hours
• Check out our Garden Blog on Apricot Care
• Prune to any manageable size
• Tolerant of any chalky, loamy or sandy site but prefers enriched fertile sites
