DESCRIPTION

Goldrich apricot is a dessert variety with moderate fertility. It is well adapted to our climate. It is characterised by early ripening - harvest takes place in late July and August. It produces attractive, large, oval fruit. They are covered with orange/green skin with a little red blush. The flesh is firm, aromatic, orange, and comes away from the stone easily. The fruits are exceptionally tasty.

ADVICES

The tree is best planted in a sunny position, sheltered from the wind. The plant prefers sandy-clay fertile soil which is moderately moist. The optimum pH is in the range of 6,7-7,2.

To stimulate future growth the tree should be pruned in the first year immediately after planting. Formative pruning should be executed on the main stem, 20 cm above where the planned future branches will grow. The other branches should also be cut, reducing their length by one third. The best time to prune the apricot tree is annually in the spring. This variety does not require a pollinator.
