Sweet, juicy and aromatic - no wonder they named it Flavorcot! Part of the "Cot" series–renowned for reliability and large crops The best for eating fresh from the tree or used in desserts Apricots perform best in the warmer part of the UK. They prefer warmer weather, and their early spring flowers are susceptible to frost. You can protect them somewhat by growing in a sheltered spot, perhaps up against a south facing wall. If your fruit seems not to be ripening, pick and ripen indoors on a sunny windowsillMORE Self fertile Apricots don't require pollination by another tree to produce fruit, unlike many other fruit speciesMORE SJA Rootstock: Max size H5m x W3m Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE Patio trained:Very compact max size H1.5m x W1m, perfect for pots Patio trees are pruned and trained to be suitable for growing in pots, on patios. This means they will be fine with their growth being restricted and produce a productive little treeMORE Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.

This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE Show more
