Katy Apricot Tree,Five Gallon Container
Katy Apricot will be one variety worth considering if you live in a Southern area with mild winters. The apricots hanging from your very own backyard tree are large in size, an all purpose flavorful freestone. The tree ripe fruit is sub-acid, not tart. You can begin picking your fruit early, usually 3-4 weeks before Blenheim (Royal). The Katy apricot does need about 350 hours chilling, and is self fertile. Enjoy your fruit for fresh eating, cooking, canning, drying, freezing and jams and jellies. Shipped potted in soil to ensure the best possible start when planted in yard or garden.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the rootstock my new fruit tree is grafted to important? What can you tell me about it?
Citation hybrid rootstock will dwarf peaches and nectarines to 8-14 feet, apricots and plums to 12 to 18 feet, but any tree on Citation may be held to any desired height by summer pruning. Citation is very tolerant of wet soil, but is not particularly drought tolerant, as it induces early dormancy if soil is left chronically dry. For those in areas with harsh winters, this root stock is very winter hardy, also allowing trees to resist root knot nematodes. Induces heavy bearing at young age.
