Select an apricot variety that is suitable for the environment and type of soil you have.
Apricots require at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day for the best growth and fruit harvest. Therefore, when you are planting it in your garden, pick a sunny place.
Apricots thrive in soil that drains well and has a pH of 6.0 to 7.5.
Ensure consistent moisture, especially during the growing season. Water the tree deeply but avoid water logging as it can damage the roots.
Regular pruning helps maintain the tree's shape, remove dead or diseased wood and improve air circulation. Prune apricots in late winter or early spring before new growth starts.
You can harvest apricots when they are fully mature and can be easily plucked from the tree.
