Apricots (Prunus Armeniaca) are native to northeast China, from an area near the Russian border and not Armenia as the species name suggests. The Romans spread the apricot throughout Europe.
The apricot is stone fruit: fruit with a hard, stony kernel.
The apricot blooms very early in the year and thus needs to be protected from night frost when it flowers. Ideal location is a sheltered spot against a south wall so that the first pollinating insects can pollinate the blossom early in spring.

Care tips: For a healthy apricot tree, proper care is essential. Plant in a sunny, well-drained location and water regularly, especially during dry periods. Fertilise in spring with balanced nutrition and mulch to retain moisture. Protect young trees from frost.
Maintenance: Apricot tree maintenance includes regular pruning to maintain an open crown and promote air circulation. Remove dead branches and thin fruits for healthy development. Watch for signs of disease, such as the dreaded lead glaze disease, and act quickly.
Choice of Varieties: When selecting apricot trees, consider the climate. 'Luizet' thrives in temperate zones, while 'Aurora' is more resistant to heat. Know the differences in taste and size of fruits and choose a variety that suits your preferences and local environment.
With careful care, thoughtful maintenance and a considered choice of varieties, you can enjoy juicy apricots straight from your own garden. Let your apricot tree thrive and reap the rewards of your gardening efforts.
