Why We Love It
A homegrown apricot from your very own tree is well worth a little extra TLC chef's kiss. Plant your Goldcot Apricot Tree somewhere sunny and sheltered for fresh and juicy fruit that can be enjoyed all summer long. And if you have some surplus fruit, get your bake on or try your hand at making some delicious jams and jellies.
You can expect to see delicious apricots in late summer within three years which can be stored in the fridge or frozen for months. As a self-pollinating plant, there is no need for any pollinator trees, however it does prefer wind-sheltered sunny spots and will need protected in severe winters. Make sure to avoid pruning on years with no fruit yield, and to look out for any pests in summer.

How to Plant
This hardy tree is best suited to planting in spring or autumn. Once you've chosen a bright, sunny and sheltered spot, you'll find it easy to grow and maintain throughout the year.
Have a spade and a watering tool ready, along with some moist but well-drained soil or peat-free multi-purpose compost.
Dig a hole that is twice the size of the tree’s rootball, so the roots have room to grow.
Carefully remove your tree from its container and place it in the hole, then back-filling with soil until it is secure.
Water generously so that moisture reaches the roots.
You'll need a spade and watering tool, plus a container larger than the one the tree arrived with plenty of drainage holes.
Pour a small amount of soil at the bottom of your chosen container.
Place the tree inside and then back-fill soil around the rootball.
Water thoroughly and add in more soil if needed.
Keep the soil moist and regularly watered, especially during growing season.
