📅 When to Plant Apricot?

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.

❄️ Frost Sensitivity & Protection

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.

🌡️ Optimal Temperatures

Apricot grows best at daytime temperatures between 18°C and 32°C. Night temperatures should not fall below 5°C.

🍄 Mold & Rain Tolerance

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.
