Tomcot is a recently developed apricot. It produces a large fruit. The fruit is ripe when the orange skin starts to turn red flushed - towards the end of July / early August in the UK. Apricots really do need lots of sun and south facing aspect is very important to achieve consistent crops of fruit. For the best results we recommend training apricots across a south facing wall.
Reliably Self Fertile.
We sell the tree in 3 formats depending on the time of year & availability:
1BR = 1 year old maiden bare root tree sold from Nov to Spring. Approx 120 - 150cm tall. Bare roots will be wrapped in a bag.
2BR = 2 year old bare root tree sold from Nov to Spring. Approx 120 - 150cm tall. The tree will have been grown an extra year in our fields and benefits from a thicker trunk / root system and will be more likely to produce fruit this coming summer.
9L = 2 year old tree that has spent approx 1 year growing in a poly pot ( polythene 9 litre bag ). Approx 120 - 150cm tall. The tree will benefit from a more developed root system and can be planted all year round. The tree will also haves a thicker trunk and will be more likely to produce fruit this summer.
