Apricot Tree

Apricot Tree

The apricot fruit tree is native to Armenia, but will be at home planted in your home orchard or garden. A hardy, deciduous tree that will give you plenty of sweet yet tart fruit and shade for generations to come. They are self-pollinating, meaning that you can have one tree and still produce fruit. However, most self-pollinating trees will actually produce more vigorous fruit when more than one tree is present. So, plant multiple varieties and enjoy a bountiful harvest.

Self-Pollinating Varieties: 

Many apricot varieties are self-pollinating, meaning you don’t need multiple trees to get a good fruit yield. This makes them a convenient choice for smaller gardens.

Extended Harvest Period: 

Apricot trees offer a long harvesting season, providing fresh fruit from mid-summer to late summer. This extended harvest allows you to enjoy the fruits of your labor for weeks.

Delicious Fruit:

Apricot trees produce delectable, sweet fruits that are perfect for snacking, baking, and making preserves. Their rich flavor makes them a favorite for a variety of recipes.

Sun-Loving Fruit:

Apricots (Prunus armeniaca) thrive in sunny spots where they can bask in warmth, ensuring their sweet, juicy fruits fully ripen.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many years does it take for an apricot tree to bear fruit?

Apricot trees usually begin bearing fruit in about 3 to 4 years after planting. Once established, they produce delicious, golden-orange apricots each summer. With plenty of sunlight and care, they become reliable, fruitful trees for years to come.
Where is the best place to plant an apricot tree?

The best place to plant an apricot tree is in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Choose a spot with good air circulation to keep the tree healthy and productive. With sunlight and space to grow, it rewards you with beautiful blooms and sweet fruit each year.
Do I need two apricot trees to get fruit?

Most apricot trees are self-pollinating, so you only need one to produce fruit. However, planting two different varieties nearby can improve pollination and yield. Either way, with good care and sunlight, they’ll produce plenty of sweet, juicy apricots.

I had doubts when I first opened the box. Packaged well. After planting them after two weeks they came to life and are flourishing quite well. They are very healthy and now branching out vividly. Thank you!

Giant Chicory!

I purchased a selection of blue plants. I planted the bare roots in a large planter I call the nursery. I wait until they are adapting to their new environment. When they start growing about three inches, I transplant to a larger pot, then to their permanent location in my garden. One grew to four feet. Others are 1- 2 feet! I can see buds sprouting and can’t wait until they bloom. I did have to cut the 4ft one down to 2 ft so it would get fuller.

My favorite spring flower

My absolute favorite spring flower. I’ve bought several over the years. Sometimes I’ve found they might not come up until the second year but most from this nursery come in the next spring.
