Apricot - Fruit & Nuts
Apricot : Delicot® 1 feathered maiden A sister variety to Flavourcot®, but with a slightly different sugar/acid balance giving the aromatic fruits a more delicate flavour. Delicious eaten straight from the tree, in preserves or served up as a cold or cooked desert. Self fertile. Grafted onto a specialist apricot rootstock called 'Torrinel' which is semi-dwarfing, and will produce you a medium sized 2-2.5m (7-8ft), manageable tree for the small garden and is proven to give a bigger crop of apricots. Due to modern breeding techniques and yield improvements it is now easy for the home gardener to grow and enjoy these exotic fruits. |
Apricot : Flavourcot® 1 feathered maiden Specially bred for the cooler UK climate, to produce huge crops of large egg sized orange/red delicious fruits with improved colour, texture and flavour.

Grafted onto a specialist apricot rootstock called 'Torrinel' which is semi-dwarfing, and will produce you a medium sized 2-2.5m (7-8ft), manageable tree for the small garden and is proven to give a bigger crop of apricots.

Apricot : Lilicot® 1 feathered maiden A very early ripening apricot, about 3-4 weeks earlier than Flavourcot®. Although this variety fruits early just like Flavourcot® it is late flowering making the blooms frost resistant so you always get a crop. The gorgeous orange/red skined fruits contain delicious sweet juicy flesh. Self fertile.

Apricot : Perle Cot® 1 tree Beautiful coloured apricots with exceptional flavour! Perle Cot has large, bright orange fruits with an attractive red blush covering up to half of the fruit skin. The early-cropping trees are quick to establish and produce fruits that are so sweet and juicy that they can be eaten as snacks straight from the tree in August.
