Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper care is essential for ensuring your apricot trees bare root establish well and produce abundant fruit. Upon arrival, soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Choose a site with full sun exposure, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily, which is crucial for fruit production. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the roots without bending them, and deep enough so the graft union (the bump on the trunk) is slightly above the soil line. Backfill with soil, gently tamping down to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly.

These sweet apricot plant varieties prefer loamy or sandy soil with good drainage. Avoid heavy clay soils that retain too much moisture. Water regularly, especially during the first growing season, to help the tree establish its root system. Once established, reduce watering to moderate levels, providing deep watering sessions rather than frequent shallow ones. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fruit tree fertilizer. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring to shape the tree, remove dead or diseased branches, and encourage better air circulation and fruit development. Protecting young trees from pests and diseases is also important; monitor regularly and address issues promptly. Understanding apricot tree care will lead to healthier trees and more delicious fruit.
