Apricot Trees
The succulent fruits of the Apricot tree can be enjoyed throughout the summer months, and we've taken the time to select a variety of apricot trees for sale that will flourish in our British climes.
Our selection includes winter-hardy varieties that can be grown under protection or outside, giving our customers greater choice. Good flavour is our favourite defining characteristic.
Apricot trees have a long, rich history of cultivation, originating from across the sun-soaked Middle East, Mediterranean and Asia. More recently, colonisation and travel have seen Apricot trees introduced to far-flung corners of the world, with cultivars cropping up and being established throughout America and Australia. The good news is that because Apricots are hardier than their peach cousins and prefer a period of cold dormancy, they can easily be grown in our British climate.
During the dormant season from November through to April the Apricot trees for sale in our online catalogue are supplied direct as pruned bare root trees, ready for planting into the ground. During the late spring and summer we are able to provide our Apricot trees as as pot-grown specimens.
Although our Apricot tree listing doesn't represent a full list of all apricot trees suited to growing in the diverse British climate, it does represent the 'cream of the crop'. We have taken the time to carefully research and trial each apricot tree variety that you see on offer. As such, we list only what we believe to be the best of the bunch, with flavour as the defining factor in our selection process.
Did you know that Apricots are used when making love spells (for those romantics amongst us!)
