- Position: Full sun
- Soil: Moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: Average
- Flowering period: February to March
- Hardiness: Frost hardy (may need winter protection)
- Garden care: When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. To safeguard the blossom from frost and minimise disease risk, it’s essential to prune in early summer as part of the fruit thinning process during heavy cropping years or after picking in light cropping years. If there is no crop, pruning should be avoided altogether.
‘Flavorcot’ is a remarkable self-fertile apricot variety known for producing superbly flavoured, egg-shaped fruits even from a young age. Pink-tinged, white blossom appears in early spring, followed by striking yellow-orange fruits with a red flush, ripening in late July in sunny, sheltered positions such as a south-facing wall . While ‘Flavorcot’ is relatively hardy, hand-pollination with a soft brush is beneficial due to its early flowering. To ensure a successful crop, protecting the blossom with horticultural fleece is still recommended when severe or prolonged cold is forecast.
