‘Alfred’ is a robust apricot variety well-suited for UK gardens due to its resistance to dieback. Its medium-sized fruits boast a vibrant orange skin and juicy flesh, ready for harvest in late July. Ideal for immediate consumption or creating delicious jams, this hardy apricot is known for its exceptional flavour, and thrives as a bush or fan-trained tree. The white-blush pink blossoms in April and May attract beneficial wildlife and pollinating insects, offering an environmentally conscious and fruitful addition to any garden.
When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Protect the blossom from frost, and prune in summer to reduce the risk of disease.
