Landscape Uses and Maintenance – Apricot Fruit Tree 3-4'
The Apricot Fruit Tree 3-4' is a rewarding fruit tree to grow that is beautiful, practical, and ornamental. They have small, soft pink to white flowers that are fragrant. This fruit tree grows very quickly and will gain a large amount of height in the first couple of years of being grown.
These fruit trees require a moderate amount of maintenance. Get your tree pruners ready for action! They will need pruning of dead, rubbing, or diseased branches. You should prune to thin out some of the branches, too, which will give you better quality fruits. Prune in the late winter.
Location, location, location! These trees need full sun. However, they benefit from having some sort of protection to help keep them better guarded from unexpected late frosts and wind. The sunlight will also dry out limbs and leaves, in turn preventing diseases from spreading through your tree.
Make sure to plant your new trees in an area with well draining soil. Avoid planting them in clay soil that holds more water. These trees will not tolerate a high water table.
Water thoroughly when first planted until well established, taking care not to overwater. You will need to water this tree during dry periods.
Give a balanced fertilizer that will encourage fruit set and overall tree health.
Flowers will attract bees and butterflies.
Noteworthy Characteristics
The Apricot Fruit Tree 3-4' is a self pollinating tree, meaning that you can have one tree and still produce fruit. However most self pollinating trees will actually produce more vigorous fruit when more than one tree is present. So, plant multiple varieties and enjoy a bountiful harvest!

Care
Water apricot trees deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering. Prune annually in late winter to maintain shape and remove dead wood. Fertilize in early spring with balanced nutrients to promote healthy growth and fruit production.

Plant Reproduction
Apricot fruit tree spreads through seed dispersal and grafting.
Plant fruit trees in early spring or late fall when the weather is cool. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the roots and double as deep as the root system. When the tree is put in the hole, make sure the graft union (a noticeable bump where the tree was grafted above the rootstock) is above the soil line. Put dug-out soil around the tree roots, gently firmly remove air pockets, and water thoroughly.
Water young trees regularly, especially during dry spells, to establish a robust root system. Once established, water deeply and less frequently. Prune fruit trees yearly during the dormant season to remove dead or diseased wood, improve air circulation, and shape the tree for optimal fruit production. Fertilize in early spring and thin the fruit when necessary to prevent overbearing, which can stress the tree and reduce fruit quality.
