Overview

The fruits of this interesting apricot are larger than average, and as they ripen, their skins turn orange with a strong red blush. It tends to be reliably hardy in most regions of the UK (provided they are planted in freely draining soils), but for best results, plant it in a warm, sunny position (against a south-facing wall would be ideal). Grafted onto St Julien A rootstock, it is a self-fertile plant, so it does not need a pollination partner to produce fruit.

Specifications

  • Position: full sun
  • Soil: will tolerate most soils, except very chalky or badly drained
  • Rate of growth: slow growing
  • Flowering period: April to May
  • Hardiness: fully hardy (borderline)

Care guide

When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Protect the blossom from frost, and prune in summer to reduce the risk of disease.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
