Accepted Answer

Yes - there is a possibility for more to be available in January.
For our deciduous trees in the Fruit Tree Program, we accept pre-orders in the fall and winter with pick up dates starting in mid-January. If the individual variety shows "out of stock" or "Put me on the waiting list" between October and January, then we are waiting for an inventory update from our Grower. We will make available any last quantities then. We also have some customers who change their mind at the last minute and varieties become available unpredictably.

Accepted Answer

The bare root trees are usually around 2 years old. Don't expect any fruit the first year after planting, and the second year we recommend knocking of the young fruit before they take a lot of the tree's energy. It is better for the trees to focus on growing stronger roots. Then on the third year after planting you usually start to see your first harvests.

Accepted Answer

For a while, yes they can be grown in containers. But here in the low desert, the size of the container is critical so that the roots do not get too hot. Shading of the pot is helpful. If you can get the tree into the ground in the first couple years it will be better for the tree.

Accepted Answer

Apricots can grow 16-20 feet tall if allowed. Here at the Urban Farm we recommend that you keep it about 6-8 feet tall so that you can reach the fruit.
