Grafted Apricot Plant
Variety | Hybrid |
Fruit Type | Apricot |
The Apricot (Prunus armeniaca) is a deciduous fruit tree (it loses its leaves in the winter) originating from regions of China and Central Asia. It belongs to the Rosaceae family and the genus Prunus, which also includes other significant fruit trees like almond, cherry, peach, and many more.
The trees can reach up to 12 m (39ft) in height, but usually, they are pruned and maintained to 3.5-4 m (11.5-13 ft). The apricot tree has ovate leaves with an average length of 5-9cm (2-3.5 inches). It blooms during early spring, producing beautiful white-pinkish flowers with five petals, either single or in pairs, that emerge before the tree's foliage in early spring. The average Apricot tree can produce fruits (reproduction phase) after the 2nd to 4th year of its life and remain productive for around 20-25 years or more. The fruit botanically is characterized as a drupe. The well-known Apricot has sweet, aromatic, juicy yellow to reddish flesh and white-pinky, yellow, orange, or red glabrous or pubescent skin. The fruit contains a single seed inside a woody husk known as a stone. Apricot pits contain a substance called amygdalin, which is converted to cyanide upon chewing or grinding the kernel.
Apricot Environmental requirements
The Apricot tree thrives in areas characterized by cool winters and warm dry summers. To reduce the risk of fungal infections, it is important to cultivate apricots in areas with low relative humidity during summer. Equally important to maximize tree growth is to have unblocked access to direct sunlight for at least 8 hours daily. Lack of sun exposure will reduce the qualitative characteristics of the fruits.
