APRICOT (Prunus armeniaca)
(Rosaceae) Loves warmth, tolerates drought, and is sensitive to humid areas. It is susceptible to late frosts. In cold regions, plant in a sunny and sheltered location. Grows in all types of soil, including calcareous. Wait 2 to 4 years for a good harvest.

Pruning
Blooms mainly on one-year-old wood. It should be pruned minimally to avoid promoting gummosis during December-February. Completely remove the suckers developed on the upper part of the crown and the larger branches located inside to allow sunlight to reach the fruits. A light summer pruning in June is also recommended, removing only the most vigorous suckers that have grown in the upper and inner parts of the tree.

Pollination
It is mostly self-fertile. For newer varieties, it is advisable to pair with others that bloom at the same time.

Planting
Spacing from 5x3 to 4x4. Potted plants can be transplanted throughout the year, while bare-root saplings should be planted from December to the end of February. Do not shorten the roots too much.
