Overview

Apricot 'Early Moor Park' Tree - Prunus armeniaca - Bare Root

Small and compact, this tree can grow happily in your garden, but can also be just as rewarding in a pot, say, on a balcony. The tree is fully winter hardy, but will like full sun, against a south-facing wall, to give it protection from wind and rain. The fragrant blossom will help pollinate your tree, and you may get 200-300 apricots per tree after a good season. The fruits are large and yellow, and take on an attractive red-orange tinge when fully ripe.

Care guide

Advice on hot and droopy plants

If your plants are looking a little wilted right now, don't worry! Plants like to be filled with water to keep their structure, and when it's hot that water evaporates.

Just give them an off-schedule watering and they'll be right as rain in no time! Be careful not to flood them - plants don't like extremes.

How your order will arrive

Packaging

We have developed an eco friendly polypot that is currently in use across our 9 litre range. This polypot has less than 20% of the plastic used by a regular pot, and is importantly recyclable. Polypots also prevent root spiraling, encouraging a healthier root system.

All trees arrive in an extra thick cardboard box with a clamp to hold their pot in place. This prevents them from moving around on their journey.

Nursery staff will wrap the roots of our bare root trees and use compost to keep them moist during transportation. This extra protection prevents them from drying out, allowing for a flying start. We also use the same specialised box that our potted trees have to keep them nice and secure as they make their way to your home.
