Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to plant an apricot tree?

The best time to plant an apricot tree is in late winter or early spring when the tree is still dormant. This allows the tree to establish roots before the growing season begins.

What are the ideal growing conditions for apricot trees?

Apricot trees thrive in full sun with at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. They prefer well-drained, loamy soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Regular watering is crucial, especially during dry spells.

How do you care for an apricot tree to ensure healthy growth and fruit production?

Regular pruning in late winter, balanced fertilisation, and deep watering are essential. Prune to improve air circulation, remove damaged branches, and maintain shape. Fertilise in early spring and mid-summer with a balanced fertiliser.
