Apricots are adaptable to most soil types, but do best in fast-draining, loamy soils. Mulching helps retain moisture and helps to stabilize the soil temperature. Most fruit trees are pruned during their dormant phase in Winter, but apricots do best when pruned in Summer. Pruning should be done in July and August after harvest. Apricot trees explode with fragrant white blossoms in early Spring and grow quickly so they are attractive in landscaping. The trees can live for up to 75 years.
