Description
This self-fertile fruit tree displays beautiful pink blossoms throughout spring, attracting an abundance of wildlife. The flowers are followed by large yellow-orange fruits with a red blush, known for their sweet and aromatic flavour and ready for picking in late September. The fruits are great for eating fresh and making the famous French 'Bergeron' jam.
Planting Position
The Bergeron is a hardy addition, suitable for small to medium-sized gardens and is often planted in courtyards, cottages and informal gardens. This Apricot will do well in sheltered areas in full sun and moist but well-drained soil.
Aftercare
The Bergeron requires little maintenance but may need fruit thinning to improve fruit size and quality.
Size
After 10 years, the tree can reach a height of 3-4m with a 3m spread.
