Apricot Sundrop (on Peach Stock)

Attractive Deciduous Growth: Sundrop apricot develops a naturally spreading form with fresh green foliage and attractive branching. Its seasonal growth provides a lovely feature in the garden while producing a rewarding crop of fruit.

Sweet & Juicy Apricots: This productive variety produces attractive golden-orange apricots with juicy, flavoursome flesh and a deliciously sweet taste. The fruit is wonderful eaten fresh or used in baking, desserts, jams, preserves, and cooking.

Beautiful Spring Blossom: In early spring, the tree produces attractive blossoms that add colour and interest to the garden before the fruit begins to develop. The developing apricots mature as the warmer weather arrives.

Excellent Home Orchard Tree: A great choice for backyard orchards, kitchen gardens, lifestyle blocks, or sunny garden positions. Growing Sundrop on peach rootstock provides a strong foundation for healthy growth and productive fruiting.

Sun-Loving & Easy Care: Sundrop performs best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and regular moisture during active growth and fruit development. Annual pruning can help maintain an open structure and encourage productive new growth.

Ornamental & Productive: Combining attractive spring blossom, lush summer foliage, and delicious golden fruit, Sundrop offers both decorative appeal and a useful home harvest. Its deciduous habit allows greater sunlight into the garden during winter.
