Q: Is this a bare root tree? How big is the tree?

Asked by: Deborah C Gelvin - 1/18/2021

A: Yes - we bring in our deciduous trees as bare-root trees. This is our preferred method as it gives your tree the best root balls and the strongest advantage for starting out in its new location.

We do prune the bareroot trees a little - first to take off any damaged branches or roots, then mostly to give the tree a healthy start based on its rootball size, but this also assists in transport.

You can expect our apricots to be approximately 4' in height.

Q: Will these apricots grow in 3100 ft elevation?

Asked by: Gary Conroy - 2/7/2021

A: Mostly likely no, these varieties will not grow at 3100 ft elevation due to soil type and chill hours. Low chill fruits don't usually do well in high chill areas. And based on soil type you could need a different rootstock and depending on last average date of frost you might even need different cultivars. Please contact us directly for more assistance.

Q: In what sizes can you provide a Gold Kist Apricot tree? When would you expect availability?

Asked by: Adi Pohan - 2/11/2021

A: Our apricots are bare root and the trunks typically are 1" caliper or greater (this past season they were close to 1.5"). Each year we open our pre ordering in September and have deciduous pick up dates in January which is the best time to plant them.

Q: What is your apricot tree size and age, gold kist and katy thanks

Asked by: Wendy Wu - 8/11/2022

A: Wendy - The trees are typically 2 years old and are 4 feet tall. The more important piece of data though is the trunk diameter. Our trees are typically 3/4 to 1 1/4 in diameter at the base.
