Apricot Tree 'Bergeron' Patio

Low trunk 80cm high - 5 litre pot. The Bergeron Apricot Tree is a popular tree for growing juicy, sweet apricots with a slightly acidic flavour. This tree is medium sized, with a dense, spreading crown and attractive blossoms in spring. Bergeron apricots usually ripen in July and are excellent for fresh consumption or processing. The tree does best in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil and requires a sunny, warm position. Regular watering and mulching will help to retain moisture and soil temperature. Pruning after harvest will promote air circulation and future fruit production. Bergeron is self-pollinating, but a second tree can increase yield.

A patio tree is a compact tree that has been specially selected or bred to be suitable for smaller gardens, terraces or patios. These trees are generally smaller in height and width than traditional trees, making them suitable for limited spaces. On average they grow to a height of +/- 150 cm (depending on pruning). They are often grown in containers or pruned in a special way to restrict their growth and control their size. Patio trees can range from flowering trees and fruit trees to ornamental trees, and they provide the benefits of trees, such as shade and aesthetic appeal, without taking up much space. They are ideal for urban environments and smaller outdoor spaces.

In the fall, the soil is still warm and moist, which means the trees will take root well in the soil. Plants that are planted in the fall have a better developed root system than plants that are planted in the spring. They will also grow better and be able to withstand periods of drought better. Because the trees are delivered in pots, they can be planted all year round.
