Description

This hardy variety of Apricot tree will grow well in the UK climate and produces masses of tasty apricots with a golden coloured skin and sweet flesh. You needn't worry about pollination, as Golden Glow Apricot is self fertile, so only one tree is required. It performs very well as a free standing tree but is also good trained onto walls as this helps to avoid spring frosts.

Prunus armeniaca 'Golden Glow' was discovered when it was found mysteriously growing by chance in the Midlands in 1985.

These Apricot trees are grafted onto Torinel rootstock which is a specialist Apricot rootstock which gives improved fruit yield and good fruit size.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
