Description

There are very few outcomes from gardening as satisfying as that first bite of a freshly-picked piece of fruit that you have grown yourself!

That dream is now easily achievable, even if you are slightly short on garden space, thanks to the outstanding Apricot 'Aprigold' Patio Tree. This compact variety really behaves itself in the garden, staying less than 1.2m tall across 10 years or so.

'Aprigold' makes the ideal potted fruit tree for the patio, balcony, or even planted straight into the garden.

Lovely soft-pink blossom emerges early in the year, transforming this tree into a springtime feature. As new leaves grow, they boast a lovely orange-red tinge, classic of apricots. Apricots are early fruiters, and will be fully established in a year or two, providing good crops of tasty, juicy apricots from late July into August every year.

As 'Aprigold' is self-fertile, a second variety is not needed to be planted nearby for pollination.

Supplied as a dormant bare root tree, double grafted, around 80cm tall.

Top Tips

Save even more space in your garden by growing your apricot as an espalier on a south facing wall or fence.

Care Information
  • Plant in full sun, away from cold winds.
  • Although frost-tolerant, it is still best practice to protect the blossom with fleece.
  • When fruit appears, it may need thinning. Remove poorly placed, small or misshapen fruits when they are about the width of your little fingernail. Aiming to have a piece of fruit every 15cm or so.
  • Water container-grown trees almost every day during the growing season and give them a high potash liquid feed every couple of weeks.
  • Avoid excessive or irregular watering when fruit is ripening to prevent the skin from splitting.
  • Prune in early spring, just before growth starts, removing unwanted or damaged branches.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
