Flowering

From Late Winter TO Mid Spring

The flowers - essential for fruiting - are very susceptible to frost. If frost is threatened during the flowering period, protect the flowers with horticultural fleece.

 

Planting

From Late Autumn TO Mid Winter

Plant apricot trees in the dormant season, in a sheltered position where the tree will get plenty of sunshine, or, in cool climates, in a greenhouse. Dig a large hole, and put a good amount of organic material in the bottom of the hole to help with drainage.
