A compact and heavy cropping apricot variety that's specially bred for success in the UK climate Sweet and tasty apricots with a deep orange skin and flesh - perfect for eating str aight off the tree or using in desserts and smoothies. These are nothing like the tasteless apricots in the shops, but juicy and full of flavour Can be grown as a freestanding tree (we recommend planting in full sun next to a fence or wall) or fan trained Fruits are ready to harvest in late July White-blush pink blossom in April and May Highly attractive to wildlife and pollinating insects - a very beneficial tree for the whole garden! Grows to a compact height of 3.6m, making it suitable for patio pots Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE Show more
