Description

A very early ripening apricot, about 3-4 weeks earlier than Flavourcot®. Although this variety fruits early just like Flavourcot® it is late flowering making the blooms frost resistant so you always get a crop. The gorgeous orange/red skined fruits contain delicious sweet juicy flesh. Self fertile.

Grafted onto a specialist apricot rootstock called 'Mont Clare' which is semi-dwarfing, and will produce you a medium sized 2-2.5m (7-8ft), manageable tree for the small garden and is proven to give a bigger crop of apricots. Due to modern breeding techniques and yield improvements it is now easy for the home gardener to grow and enjoy these exotic fruits.

Growing Instructions

Apricots may look exotic but they will flourish in a warm, sunny, sheltered position in many parts of the country. Grow them as bushy trees or as fan-trained plants against south facing walls, which act as 'storage heaters' and will protect your plants from any cold winds.
