How to Grow and Care for Sweet Bearing Hardy Apricot Seedling (1ft Tall)

Your Sweet Bearing Hardy Apricot seedling arrives at about one foot tall, already established and ready to grow. When you receive your plant, gently remove it from its packaging and allow it to adjust in a shaded spot for a day before planting. Choose a sunny location, as apricots need plenty of light to produce sweet, full-flavored fruit. Well-draining soil is essential; heavy, soggy soil will slow growth and stress the young tree. If your soil is dense, mix in compost or loose garden soil to improve drainage.

Plant your seedling with the root ball level to the surface of the soil and water thoroughly after planting. Keep the soil evenly moist during the first few months while the tree is establishing roots. Once the seedling begins to settle in and show new growth, you can reduce watering slightly, allowing the top layer of soil to dry between waterings. Apricots prefer deep, occasional watering rather than frequent light watering.

As your tree grows, give it full sunlight and a little space to spread out. A yearly application of compost or a balanced fruit-tree fertilizer in early spring helps support strong growth and better fruiting. Pruning is simple at this age; remove only weak or crossing branches, and let the tree build its main structure naturally.

This hardy apricot variety is known for its ability to withstand cooler climates while still producing sweet, abundant fruit. With good care, it will establish quickly and reward you with spring blossoms followed by delicious apricots as it matures.

If you want, I can also write a shorter Etsy product description, a care card, or a planting tag version that you can print and include with the plant.
