  • Requires 300-500 chill hours, perfect for regions with mild winters and moderate chill

Pollination & Fruit Production

  • Recommended Varieties: Pair with varieties like Tilton or Katy for improved pollination and greater fruit production.
  • Fruit Description: Tropic Gold apricots produce medium to large-sized fruits with a golden-orange skin and sweet, juicy flesh.
  • Taste: Known for their sweet flavor with a slight tang, these apricots are perfect for fresh eating, baking, and making preserves.
  • Ripening Time: The fruit ripens in early to mid-summer, typically between late June and early July.

How to Plant & Grow Tropic Gold Apricot Trees

  • Sun Requirements 🌞: Full sun, at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and fruit production.
  • Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0) enriched with organic matter.
  • Spacing 🌳: Plant trees 12-15 feet apart to provide adequate space for proper air circulation and growth.
  • Mature Size 🌳: Tropic Gold apricot trees typically grow to a mature height of 12-15 feet, ideal for small gardens and orchards.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

  • 1️⃣ Prepare the Soil πŸ§‘β€πŸŒΎ: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Amend the soil with compost to improve fertility and texture.
  • 2️⃣ Dig a Hole πŸ•³οΈ: Dig a hole that is twice the size of the root ball to give the roots room to spread and establish themselves.
  • 3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
  • 4️⃣ Backfill & Water πŸ’§: Fill the hole with soil, pressing it down gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to settle the roots.
  • 5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply Weed Pro Weed Mats or organic mulch around the base to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth 🌿.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

  • Watering πŸ’§: Keep the soil moist during the first year, ensuring the roots have access to water. Once mature, water deeply once a week, especially during dry periods.
  • Pruning βœ‚οΈ: Prune during the dormant season to remove dead, damaged, or diseased wood. Thin out the branches to allow better airflow and sunlight penetration.
  • Fertilizing πŸƒ: Apply Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks during the first year to support strong root growth. For mature trees, use a balanced fertilizer annually to support fruit production.
  • Protection πŸ›‘οΈ: Use Max Growth Tree Shelters to protect the young tree from pests, extreme weather, and animals πŸŒ³πŸ›‘οΈ.
