Moorpark 1 x Bare Root Tree

A Reliable Apricot for British Gardens Sweet, juicy golden-orange fruits Excellent for eating fresh and cooking Self-fertile – no pollination partner needed Reliable, established variety for British gardens Attractive pink-tinged white spring blossom If you've always fancied growing your own apricots, 'Moorpark' is a great place to start. This long-established variety produces sweet, juicy golden-orange fruits with rich flavour, delicious picked ripe from the tree and equally useful for jams, preserves, tarts and puddings. 'Moorpark' has long been grown in Britain and is regarded as one of the more reliable apricots for UK gardens. Give it the warmth and sunshine it needs and the fruits ripen in August, while its self-fertile nature means you only need one tree to produce a crop. Its long history of cultivation here makes it a particularly reassuring choice for gardeners who might not immediately think of apricots as a fruit they can grow successfully in Britain. There's plenty to enjoy before harvest too. Pink-tinged white blossom appears in early spring, followed by the developing fruits through summer. Choose a sunny, sheltered position away from frost pockets to protect that early blossom and give your apricots the warmth they need to ripen well. How your tree is supplied: Supplied as a grafted bare-root tree on Prunus Myrobalan rootstock, ready for planting during the dormant season.
