Water

Apricot trees require deep, consistent watering, especially during the first 1–2 years after planting and while fruit is developing. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, allowing the top few inches to dry slightly between waterings. Once established, apricot trees are moderately drought tolerant but produce the best fruit with regular watering during dry periods.

Care Level

Apricot trees benefit from annual pruning, regular watering while establishing, seasonal fertilizing, and occasional monitoring for pests and diseases. With proper care, they are productive, long-lived trees that provide beautiful spring blossoms and abundant fruit year after year.

Optimal Temperature

Apricot trees grow best in warm, sunny conditions between 18–27°C (65–80°F) during the growing season. They also require a period of winter chill to break dormancy and produce abundant blossoms and fruit, making them ideal for regions with cool winters and warm, dry summers.
