Apricot 'Early Moorpark' Tree

Plant in full sun or partial shade.

• Although frost-tolerant, it is still best practice to protect the blossom with fleece when unusually cold weather is expected.
• When fruit appears, it may need thinning. Remove poorly placed, small or misshapen fruits when they are about 1cm wide, aiming to have a fruit every 15cm.
• The best time to prune an apricot tree to keep its shape is annually in the spring. This variety does not require a pollinator.

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them. Although most plants are extremely tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme of weather conditions, we always avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme frosts or heat is forecast. We also avoid dispatching orders over Bank Holiday weekends.
