Prunus armeniaca
Warm climate fruit tree with spectacular flowering in spring.
The apricot tree needs an outdoor location with direct sunlight for at least 7 hours a day and low watering, allowing the soil to dry out well between waterings, especially in winter. It is a very hardy tree, capable of withstanding temperatures down to -20 °C, making it well suited to Mediterranean and continental climates. Plant it in autumn in a well-drained, slightly loamy substrate to encourage good rooting. Bear in mind that the seeds and some parts of the plant are toxic if ingested.
