Apricot 'Tomcot'™ is a highly productive, early-season apricot tree known for its exceptional fruit quality and reliability. Its medium-to-large, vibrant orange fruit has a sweet-tart flavor with firm, juicy flesh, making it perfect for fresh eating, canning, or drying.
This variety is partly self-fruitful; its largest harvests result from pollination with another apricot tree. It is a strong choice for backyard growers, as it sets fruit reliably even in areas with less-than-perfect spring weather.
The tree blooms with delicate, pale pink flowers in early spring, adding ornamental beauty to your garden before the fruit develops. By late spring to early summer, you’ll enjoy a generous harvest of flavorful apricots.
This variety thrives in well-draining soil with consistent moisture, especially during fruit development. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages healthy fruit production. A favorite among gardeners, 'Tomcot'™ is ideal for those looking to grow their own delicious apricots.
