Juicier and more aromatic when fully ripe than shop-bought fruit picked early.
This description applies to the species; a separate taste test of this cultivar has not been confirmed.
An apricot against a warm wall is a project for anyone who also wants to follow the blossom. Help the tree through its vulnerable early stage and, if fruit sets successfully, enjoy soft summer fruit. Protection and hand pollination make growing it an engaging learning experience.
A very sunny, warm wall; protect early blossom from frost. A small brush helps where insects are absent.
The named cultivars are self-fertile; pollinating insects or hand pollination are still needed.
Kies op uiteindelijke maat, groeivorm en bodem; compact ras is niet hetzelfde als dwergonderstam.
Bloesem aan een warme wand beschermen: Kies een waaiervorm die je kunt bereiken met vlies. Span bij vorstverwachting vlies op stokken zodat het de bloemen niet raakt. Open de bescherming overdag voor insecten. Loop met een zachte penseel langs bloemharten wanneer insecten ontbreken.
Zware vruchtclusters uitdunnen: Controleer clusters wanneer jonge vruchten ongeveer kersgroot zijn. Laat vruchten met ruimte ertussen staan en begin met beschadigde of beschaduwde exemplaren. Knip ongewenste vruchtjes voorzichtig weg zonder de dragende scheut mee te trekken. Pluk later pas wanneer de vrucht zachter is en gemakkelijk loslaat.
Allow space for the mature tree, not just the plant currently in the pot. The cultivar determines part of your fruit choice; the rootstock and tree form also help determine how much space the tree needs. Draw the crown, harvesting reach and support on your garden plan. Before buying, check whether a suitable pollinating partner is needed and whether one actually flowers nearby.
Where necessary, support a young tree with a suitable stake and a wide, soft tie. Do not let the tie rub or constrict the tree, and check it as the trunk and crown grow. Water must reach the root zone; a small wet patch on the surface does not tell you whether the rootball has enough moisture. Take care when planting and follow the species instructions for the correct planting depth.
Keep samples of the different cultivars separate. Record picking ripeness, eating ripeness, texture and the preparation you used. Fruit that tastes pleasant straight from the tree may behave differently in a pie or during storage. For perennial plants, your own flowering and harvest observations are more useful than a fixed countdown from the planting date.
