Apricot ‘New Large Early’

A robust and self-fertile variety, known for its tangy, pale yellow-skinned fruits that are a delight straight from the tree. This American plant is a hardy and reliable choice, particularly well-suited for UK conditions, and the apricots are bursting with juicy, flavour, surpassing store-bought varieties. Ideal for both fresh consumption and preserving in jams, ‘Large Early’ offers versatile culinary options. In early spring, the tree graces the garden with beautiful pink-tinged blossoms, attracting butterflies and birds. For optimal results, cultivate in a sunny, sheltered position, or consider a cool glass house in the most exposed northern areas of the UK to protect from severe or prolonged frost. Grown on the Myrobalan, semi-vigorous rootstock.
