Prunus armeniaca 'Flavorcot' syn. Prunus armeniaca 'Bayoto'
Apricot Tree 'Flavorcot'
Prunus armeniaca- apricot Tree - is a tender deciduous fruiting tree that can be fan-trained (approx. 2m.x3m), bush-trained (approx, 4m. high) half-standard (up to 6m. high) or standard (up to 8m. high). Apricots need to be grown in greenhouses in cool climates. Pollination by hand (using a small, soft brush to transfer pollen), will increase fruit yields. The flowers appear in Spring, and the fruit, which have a single stone, ripen in late Summer. 'Flavorcot' is an upright, deciduous tree that bears pale pink flowers in early to mid-Spring followed by red-flushed, yellow-orange apricots that are ready for harvest in late Summer

Flowering
From Late Winter TO Mid Spring
The flowers - essential for fruiting - are very susceptible to frost. If frost is threatened during the flowering period, protect the flowers with horticultural fleece.
Planting
From Late Autumn TO Mid Winter
Plant apricot trees in the dormant season, in a sheltered position where the tree will get plenty of sunshine, or, in cool climates, in a greenhouse. Dig a large hole, and put a good amount of organic material in the bottom of the hole to help with drainage.
