Project Overview
Appearance: Apricot trees grow up to 8-10 meters tall with a round canopy. They feature oval leaves with serrated edges and attractive reddish-brown bark.Flowers and Fruit: Showy, fragrant flowers, typically white or pale Pink, bloom in early spring before the leaves appear. These develop into edible, golf-ball sized, yellow -to-orange fruits ( drupes) that mature in mid-to- late summer.
Growing conditions: These trees thrive in full sun location with well- drained soil. While believed to have greater drought tolerance than peach trees.adequate moisture is essential for fruit development. Most varieties are self- pollinating, meaning a single tree can produce a large harvest.
