Apricot Growing Guide
Apricots, or ‘golden apples’ are a mainstay in fruit gardens and are usually one of the first stone fruit to be ready in the summer season. They store well when preserved and have a number of additional health and medicinal benefits. The flavour of a freshly picked ripe apricot is hard to beat!
