Zone Compatibility
Your climate plays an important role in whether an apricot tree will produce fruit or even survive. Before ordering a tree, make sure its recommended hardiness zone range includes your area.
Proper Pollination
All of the apricot trees we offer are self-pollinating, which is ideal if you don’t have the growing space to plant a second variety for pollination. If you do have enough room, we always recommend planting multiple varieties for optimum fruit production.
Mature Tree Size
Make sure you pick the right size for your space. When our apricot trees mature, they will be one of two sizes:
- Dwarf apricot trees mature to be about 8-10' tall and wide. Even though they are smaller, they produce an abundance of full-size fruit.
- Standard apricot trees mature to be about 15-25' tall and 20' wide. They are perfect if you have a large space or want a multi-purpose shade tree.
