A popular self-fertile apricot variety, perfectly suited for the UK’s climate. Its fragrant light-pink blossoms provide a stunning display in early spring, preceding the growth of leaves, and give way to pale yellow fruits with an appealing orange blush. Renowned for its exceptional taste, it’s ideal for fresh consumption. This early-ripening English variety is the most popular and widely cultivated apricot in the UK, known for its juicy flesh, but to safeguard against spring frosts, consider planting it on a wall or in a sheltered area.

Garden care:

When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Protect the blossom from frost, and prune in summer to reduce the risk of disease.
