Very early flowering – late frost often destroys the harvest.
Apricot (also known as Aprikose) belongs to the Fruit & Berries category and is suitable for outdoor planting from Mid Spring onwards.
Use the Growing Temperature Sum (GTS) as a guide: Apricot can be safely transplanted once the local GTS has passed the threshold for Mid Spring and no frost is expected. GrowPilot.guide calculates the current GTS for your location automatically.
🗓️ Tip: Always check the 10-day weather forecast before planting outdoors. The GTS is a helpful guide but does not replace a frost check for your specific area.
Apricot is frost-sensitive and should only be planted out after the last frost date for your area. Minimum night temperature: 5°C. Brief cold snaps below 0°C can cause damage.
Apricot grows best at daytime temperatures between 18°C and 32°C. Night temperatures should not fall below 5°C.
Apricot is sensitive to mold and high humidity. Ensure good air circulation during prolonged wet or humid weather. Space plants well and allow leaves to dry after rain.
Rain sensitivity: High – Prolonged rain can cause damage – protection with a film cover or roof overhang is recommended.
