A tree that has been grown in the field and then lifted out of the ground when dormant. Available from November to March. The roots are more open and the direct contact with the soil encourages them to settle in and establish more readily.
These are 2yr old trees that have been grown 1yr in the field and the second in a pot. Container trees can be planted at any time of the year but establish best when planted during the autumn and need to be watered well during the first summer.
Apricot trees are a unique addition to the garden with lots of juice and delicate flavours. Very hardy plants that can be grown as a free standing tree. All varieties are self-fertile. Small, juicy and sweet fruits – definitely best when they’re home-grown! Ready for picking from June to September, depending on the variety.
The delicious fruits are perfect for bottling, cooking, eaten straight from the tree or dried. Lovely masses of pink blossom in the spring. Grow well in UK climate.
Some apricot trees are perfect for patio growing or limited spaces, with a maximum height of 2m so can be grown in any sized garden. They can also be trained as a fan against a wall.
