Apricot Tree - Bebeco

The Bebeco Apricot Tree is a deciduous, self-pollinating fruit tree that grows well in a variety of climates, making it a popular choice for gardeners and commercial growers. It produces medium to large, golden-orange apricots with a sweet, slightly tangy flavor that��s ideal for fresh eating, drying, or preserving.

**Growth Habits**: This tree can reach a mature height of 3-4 meters (10-13 feet) with a similar spread. It develops a round, spreading canopy that provides good shade, while its glossy, heart-shaped leaves turn golden in the fall. The Bebeco Apricot blooms early in spring with showy, white to pink flowers that give way to fruit, typically ready for harvest in mid to late summer.

**Conditions for Growing**: The Bebeco Apricot Tree thrives in full sun and requires at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. It is well-suited to temperate and Mediterranean climates but can also tolerate colder winters, as it requires a chill period of around 500-600 hours for optimal fruit production.

**Soil Requirements**: This tree prefers well-draining, loamy soils with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. While it can tolerate a variety of soil types, sandy or heavy clay soils should be amended to improve drainage.

**Periodic Fertilizer Needs**: Apply a balanced fertilizer, such as 10-10-10, in early spring before new growth begins and again in late summer after fruiting. Organic mulch or compost can also help provide necessary nutrients and retain soil moisture.

**General Care**: Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging the roots. Pruning is recommended in late winter or early spring to remove dead or crossing branches and to encourage healthy growth and air circulation. Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids and plum curculio.
