APRICOTS

The cultural requirements are similar to peaches and nectarines, but if anything, they need more protection and more humus in the soil. All varieties are self fertile. A fresh picked English apricot has to be tasted to be believed. Superb!

DELICIOUS NEW APRICOTS

Introducing GOLD COTT

Introduced from the USA and highly recommended as a robust, hardy and reliable cultivar suited to a cold wet climate such as ours! Beautiful golden yellow fruits, medium to large in size and with a good flavour and long lasting. The flesh parts from the stone easily and is suitable for all purposes including desert, bottling, freezing, preserves etc. £22.95

NEW COMPACT APRICOT ISABELLE

At last, what we have all been waiting for! Apricots have previously been able to be container grown, but the results have not been all that great, for these naturally vigorous trees require subsequent hard pruning which then robs them of much of their crop. Isabelle is claimed to be more compact and tidy in appearance the most compact Apricot compared to standard varieties. Easily kept to only 6’ in height and perfect for containers, smaller borders or the intensive orchard. Rounded orange red finely flavoured fruits, hardy and regular cropper. Highly recommended, will go quickly so early ordering advised. £27.85

These are blessed with a uniquely intense flavour which is truly an eating sensation and will excel for preserves. The skin finish is highly attractive, being richly blushed red on a golden orange background. Flowers abundantly, a highly impressive new Apricot you must try.. £27.95
