Producer: Riya Ashok
Choose a spot in your garden that gets at least 6 to 8 hours a day of direct sunlight since apricots require it.
Apricots grow best in soil that drains well and has a pH of between 6.0 and 7.5.
Pick apricot kinds that are adapted to your region's climate.
When the apricot trees are still dormant, in late winter or early spring, plant them.
Consistent rainfall is necessary for apricots, especially during the growing season.
To shape and promote healthy growth, prune young apricot trees.
An annual application of balanced, slow-release fertiliser in the early spring is beneficial for apricots.
When apricots are fully mature and can be readily plucked from the tree, they are ready for harvest.
