Apricots

You will want to plant your Apricot tree in a location that gets a full day’s sun, and has very well-draining soil. You should allow for about 25 ft. around your tree for growth. Right after planting, you should trim back your tree to encourage new growth. A more open-growing tree will allow more light to all the branches, which will benefit your future fruit production.
