syn: Prunus armeniaca Sundrop

Apricot Sundrop

$50.00

The Apricot ‘Sundrop’ produces large, golden-yellow, sweet, and juicy freestone fruits with a clean orange skin, ideal for fresh eating or preserving, ripening in mid-summer. To cultivate, plant in a sunny, sheltered location with fertile, well-draining soil, and know it is partially self-fertile, benefiting from cross-pollination with another variety like ‘Trevatt’ for better yields. Prune only in summer to minimize disease risk, paint cuts with pruning paste, and be aware of susceptibility to brown rot and bacterial canker.

Cultivation Guide

  • Location:

    Choose a sunny and sheltered position with moist, fertile, and free-draining soil. 

  • Soil:

    Requires deep, fertile, and well-drained soil to prevent root rot. 

  • Pollination:

    While partially self-fertile, planting a pollinator variety, such as ‘Trevatt’, will increase crop yield. 

  • Pruning:

    Prune only during the summer after fruiting to minimize the risk of infection and disease. 

  • Pest & Disease Control:
    Paint all pruning cuts with pruning paste and consider a preventative spray program, especially in wet spring conditions, to protect against brown rot and bacterial canker.
