An apricot tree can be easily grown in your garden.
Which place to choose to grow an apricot tree
Before planting, it is important to decide on a location.
Choose a sunny place in the garden to grow your apricot tree, as it loves warmth and lots of light.
In addition, the soil must be sufficiently nutritious and loose for the normal development and growth of the plant.
The sun's rays should be on the tree all day.
Insufficient lighting will worsen the fruit harvest.
How to grow apricots
Plant the tree in October, before frosts occur at night.
Dig up the planting area and make a hole for the tree.
Place a layer of compost, ash, sand and grass to improve the nutritional value of the soil.
Sprinkle with soil and cover the top of the soil with mulch of grass, hay or spruce paws.
This protects the plant from temperature changes and birds.
Do not plant other plants and trees next to the apricot. They will compete together for resources and shade each other with the crown.
This will impair the growth and fruiting of the apricot tree.
In addition, the apricot tree releases toxic substances into the soil around it for other plant species.
