Apricot Golden Glow - Fruit Tree

Crops in: Early August
Rootstock: St. Julien A (semi-dwarf)
Availability: Pre-Order
Dispatched: From late October

Description: A chance seedling found on the Malvern Hills in 1985, hardy and heavy cropping, well suited to UK conditions. Delicious tangy fruit, ideal for eating fresh, makes wonderful jam, preserves well.The beautiful pink-tinged flowers in early spring are self-fertile. Prefers a sunny sheltered spot - ideally against a south or south-west facing wall.

This apricot tree is growing on a semi-dwarf rootstock, ideal for the average garden. Apricots need a sunny site and a neutral soil to crop well, a ph. of 6.0 - 7.5 is ideal.

Pollination: Self-fertile.The major cause of poor pollination is bad weather at blossom time, limiting the activity of insects, particularly in the case of apricots which usually bloom in February or March. In a bad year a soft paint brush can dramatically improve results.

Planting distance: 4m (13ft)
Approximate height 4m (13ft) after 10 years.
