Prunus Dwarf Apricot Fireball is a compact, early maturing apricot variety suited to most temperate regions of Australia. Grafted onto a dwarfing rootstock, it forms a small, manageable tree ideal for backyards and smaller gardens while still producing full-sized fruit. The apricots are round with deep orange skin and sweet, juicy flesh that easily separates from the stone, making them a classic freestone variety. Harvest typically occurs in late November, providing an early crop of delicious fruit perfect for fresh eating. This self-pollinating apricot will produce fruit on its own but can benefit from cross-pollination with other apricot varieties for heavier yields. The fruit is excellent for preserving, bottling, stewing, or freezing, allowing you to enjoy the harvest well beyond the picking season. Soil: Well-drained soil.Conditions: Full sun. Suitable for temperate regions with 450 hours chilling time.Size: Height 2m x width 2m
