Apricot Tree Advice
Not a very demanding tree but a few things to remember.

• Make sure you plant the Apricot tree in a well drained spot where there is a lot of sun.
• Although these Apricot trees are self fertile, it still helps to hand pollinate with a small brush
• Prune the tree to allow sun in and air to circulate into the centre.
• As Apricots are early flowering fruit trees, they may be exposed to spring frosts. A fleece over the tree or planting close to a wall should help.  
• If you have a large Apricot crop, prune in Mid May as part of the fruit thinning procedure. If a small crop, prune after harvest. Never prune in October through to end of April.
• If pot growing Apricots consistent watering is essential. A dry spell followed by watering can split the fruit.

Important Apricot Fruit Tree information
As with other stone fruit trees such as Plum, Damsons and Gages, Apricot fruit trees are a bit spoilt when it comes to being left in a container over Winter (Oct-March) They may decide out of spite to not do so well next year or as the ultimate act of defiance, just stop living. If you must have your Apricot fruit tree in a container, we advise leaving in a greenhouse or conservatory over the Winter months.
