Planting instructions for:

Apricot - Bulida 70 litre

To plant Apricot - Bulida trees, select a location that receives full sun and has well-draining soil. Prepare the soil by loosening it and removing any weeds or debris. If the soil is heavy or compacted, consider adding organic matter such as compost to improve drainage and fertility. Dig a hole that is wide and deep enough to accommodate the root system of the tree. Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the bud union (the swollen area where the tree was grafted) sits slightly above the soil level. Back fill the hole with a mixture of the excavated soil and compost, gently firming it around the roots. Water the tree thoroughly after planting to settle the soil and eliminate any air pockets. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Regularly water the tree, especially during dry periods, and ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Prune the tree during the dormant season to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches, as well as to maintain an open shape. Apricot - Bulida trees require full sun exposure for optimal growth and fruit production. Monitor the tree for common apricot pests and diseases, and take appropriate measures, such as applying organic or chemical controls, if necessary. With proper care, your Apricot - Bulida tree will thrive and reward you with delicious apricots.

Care instructions

Watering

Provide regular and deep watering during the growing season, especially in dry periods. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist, but avoid over watering, as it can lead to root rot. Water at the base of the tree rather than overhead to minimize the risk of fungal diseases.

Soil

Apricot - Bulida trees prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Ensure the soil pH is between 6.0 and 7.5. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, consider adding organic matter such as compost to improve drainage and fertility.

Sunlight

Apricot - Bulida trees require full sun exposure to thrive and produce abundant fruit. Choose a planting location that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Prunning

Prune the tree during the dormant season, preferably in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Remove any dead, diseased, or crossing branches.
Thin out crowded areas to improve air circulation and light penetration. Maintain an open center or modified central leader shape to encourage healthy growth and fruiting.

Fertilser

Apply a balanced fertilizer specifically formulated for fruit trees in early spring, following the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers, as they can promote excessive vegetative growth at the expense of fruit production. Monitor the tree's growth and adjust fertilization accordingly based on visual cues or soil tests.

Pests & Disease

Monitor the tree regularly for common apricot pests such as aphids, mites, and peach twig borers. Implement integrated pest management (IPM) practices, including proper sanitation, cultural controls, and biological controls to manage pest populations. Watch for signs of diseases such as brown rot, bacterial canker, or powdery mildew.
Proper pruning, adequate air circulation, and fungicide treatments when necessary can help prevent and manage diseases.
