The name Prunus Armeniaca may make it seem like the plants are from Armenia, but they actually are from North-East Asia! The plant grows delicious sweet apricots that are slightly smaller than normal apricots. This makes them perfect for the moderate climate of North-West Europe. The deliciously sweet apricots can be harvested in August. The ripe apricots can be eaten right after harvest, but can also be used in jams. The apricot tree also has beautiful light pink flowers that blossom from march until early April.

Care
The plant prefers a sheltered spot in sun/semi-shade facing south. The more sun the plant gets, the better the fruits will grow. It likes to stand in well-drained soil. Furthermore, the plant can be pruned annually in winter. Crossing branches can then be removed. Prunus Armeniaca likes to be fed in early spring.

Size
The plant has a height of 90-100cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plant is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 21cm.
