Apricot ‘Fireball Dwarf’
A large, upright deciduous fruiting tree which is semi self-fertile, will benefit from being planted with other varieties. Apricot Fireball produces deep green leaves which changes colour in autumn. Will require annual pruning in Autumn, as this will encourage a stronger branching framework, airflow through the canopy and better fruit quality. Apricot Fireball produces medium-large rounded fruit with orange skin with red patches. The flesh is rich orange, very juicy and soft. The fruit is ideal for making jams, drying or strewing. This is a very reliable fruiting tree that is great for large gardens, food gardens or as a feature tree. Apricot Moorpark grows best in humus-rich soil which is well-draining.
