Alfred (Prunus Armeniaca Alfred) is a tough apricot tree that is much less prone to die back than several of it's counterparts. If you can speak tree, you may hear it shouting "IS THAT THE BEST YOU GOT" as it waves it's longest branches to the sky when the weather is bad. Originally from America so it may have some bad habits such as eating more than it needs and try to take over oil rich countries. The fruit is medium to small in size but with a very nice flavour.
Type of Apricot: Eating Picking Period: Early August Fertility: This apricot is self-fertile, so no need for another apricot to act as a pollination partner for it to produce fruit. Available on the following rootstock: Torinel Semi-Vigorous Rootstock giving a final height of 3.6 metres supplied in a 12 litre container Message card included at no additional cost if required.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION for all Plums, Gages, Damsons, Nectarines, Peaches, Mirabelles and Apricots. All our trees are container grown which means you can plant them ANYTIME OF THE YEAR. However, the above mentioned fruit trees may not winter well if left in their containers and may die. This is an industry wide problem and is dependant upon many variables especially temperature. This means you should plant them in the ground as soon as you get them but for the best possible chance of these fruit trees surviving, you should plant them after March and before October. General Fruit Tree Life Expectancy Most fruit trees will give you at least 40 years of fruit. Pears can go to 70. Records of 200 year old trees exist but this is the exception, not the rule.
General Pollination Information
Apricot Advice Not a very demanding tree but a few things to remember. Make sure you plant the tree in a well drained spot where there is a lot of sun. Under a sunbed in the desert is going too far!
Although these are self fertile, it still helps to hand pollinate with a small brush and prune the tree to allow sun in and air to circulate into the centre.
