USDA Growing Zones & Chill Hours

  • Thrives in USDA Zones 5-8
  • Requires 300-500 chill hours, ideal for regions with moderate winters

Pollination & Fruit Production

  • Recommended Varieties: Pair with varieties like Tilton or Moorpark to increase pollination and enhance the fruit’s quality.
  • Fruit Description: The Golden Amber apricot produces medium to large-sized fruit with a golden-yellow skin and a smooth, juicy texture.
  • Taste: Known for its rich sweetness with a slightly tangy finish, making it perfect for fresh eating or using in baked goods.
  • Ripening Time: The fruit ripens in early to mid-summer, usually around June to July, depending on the local climate.

How to Plant & Grow Golden Amber Apricot Trees

  • Sun Requirements 🌞: Full sun for at least 6-8 hours per day is necessary for optimal fruit production and healthy tree growth.
  • Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-7.0) enriched with organic matter.
  • Spacing 🌳: Space trees 12-15 feet apart to provide adequate room for growth and air circulation.
  • Mature Size 🌳: The Golden Amber apricot tree reaches a mature height of 12-15 feet, making it suitable for small to medium-sized gardens or orchards.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

  • 1️⃣ Prepare the Soil πŸ§‘β€πŸŒΎ: Choose a location with well-draining soil. Amend it with compost to ensure the soil has adequate nutrients for optimal growth.
  • 2️⃣ Dig a Hole πŸ•³οΈ: Dig a hole that is twice the size of the root ball to allow the roots to spread and establish quickly.
  • 3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Set the tree in the hole so that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
  • 4️⃣ Backfill & Water πŸ’§: Fill in the hole with soil, gently pressing it down to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to settle the plant in place.
  • 5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply Weed Pro Weed Mats or organic mulch to help retain moisture and keep the root zone cool.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

  • Watering πŸ’§: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water the tree deeply once a week, particularly during dry periods, to ensure strong growth and fruit production.
  • Pruning βœ‚οΈ: Prune the tree during the dormant season to remove dead or damaged wood, and shape the tree to encourage healthy growth and good air circulation.
  • Fertilizing πŸƒ: Apply Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks to provide steady nutrients during the first year of growth. After the first year, apply balanced fertilizer to support continued healthy growth and fruit production.
  • Protection πŸ›‘οΈ: Protect young trees from pests and extreme weather by using Max Growth Tree Shelters, which also help to encourage vertical growth.
