Tomcot Apricot Tree Bare Root – Early Harvest Sweet Apricot, Cold Hardy, 3 Feet Tall

Tomcot Apricot Tree Overview

The Tomcot Apricot Tree (Prunus armeniaca ‘Tomcot’) is a deciduous fruit tree known for its early-season harvest and reliable production. This bare root tree arrives dormant and stands approximately 3 feet tall, making it an excellent choice for home orchards and backyard gardens.

Key Features

• Produces large, bright orange apricots with firm, sweet flesh and a slightly tart, classic apricot flavor
• Ripens 2–3 weeks earlier than many other apricot varieties, including Wenatchee Moorpark
• Cold hardy and performs well in USDA zones 4–9
• Low chilling requirement of about 500 hours or less
• Partly self-fertile but yields improve with cross-pollination from another apricot variety
• Mature height ranges from 12 to 18 feet, with moderate growth rate
• Securely packaged bare root tree ready for planting

Growing Information

• Plant in full sun, requiring 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily
• Prefers well-draining, fertile soil
• Water moderately, maintaining consistent moisture especially during establishment
• Can be grown in containers when young but is best planted in the ground for long-term growth
• For optimal fruit size and tree health, thin fruit early in the season
• Plant near another apricot variety to enhance pollination and fruit production
