Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: This apricot tree requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to develop its signature high sugar content and ensure the wood ripens properly for winter. In hotter climates, afternoon shade can help prevent fruit scald, though full sun typically yields the most abundant harvest.
  • Soil: Aim for deep, well-drained loamy soil that allows roots to breathe. If you have heavy clay, plant in a raised mound or add organic compost to improve drainage, as "wet feet" will quickly lead to root rot in stone fruits.

Watering Requirements

During the first two growing seasons, provide 10 to 15 gallons of water per week to help the root system become established. Once mature, the tree is moderately drought-tolerant, but inconsistent watering during fruit development can cause the apricots to drop prematurely or crack. Deep soak the root zone every 10 days during dry spells to maintain plump, juicy fruit.

Pruning Tips

Prune your tree in late winter while it is still dormant to encourage growth on new wood where fruit will eventually form. Focus on an open-center or "vase" shape to allow sunlight and air to reach the middle of the canopy, which reduces fungal risks and colors the fruit evenly. Think of it like thinning out a crowded room so everyone has space to breathe and move.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer in early spring before the buds break to fuel the upcoming season of growth. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers after mid-summer because this forces tender new growth that won't harden off in time for winter freezes. A layer of wood mulch around the base will also provide a slow release of nutrients while keeping the soil temperature stable.

Gorgeous creamy-yellow skinned fruit, the Canadian White Blenheim Apricot Tree (Prunus armeniaca 'Canadian White Blenheim') has been called one of the best-tasting Apricots around! Winning awards year after year, it becomes covered in small rounded fruits that are syrupy sweet!

White Apricot Trees are highly productive and resistant to Plum Pox virus, so they’re highly rated for home orchards! They’re also gorgeous flowering landscape ornamentals with their drifts of frilly pink blossoms that are delightfully fragrant! Soon the fruit develops and looks like glowing golden gems among the glossy green leaves!

Pollinator-friendly, be sure to plant Canadian White Apricot with a pollinator partner, so plant another late-blooming variety close by for a larger crop per tree. Also known in China where it originates, as the Dabaixing Apricot, these are unique specialty crops. Perfect for fresh eating, freezing, dried or made into preserves!

Planting and Application:

With a smaller than average mature height and width, these are ideal for home orchards and landscapes, where these ornamental trees provide great shade and specimen accents! The drifts of pink blossoms and glowing golden orbs, make them fantastic front yard trees that we’re sure everyone will slow down to have a look at least twice a year!

Blenheim Apricot Tree does need a pollinator so plant this and another tree in groups for shade and privacy, or in hedgerows of other fruit trees, and of course in your very own orchard! Prune smaller to accommodate smaller yards or tuck into existing landscapes.

  • Super Sweet White Flesh
  • Pale-Yellow Smooth Skin
  • Fresh, Preserves, Dried & Frozen
  • Requires a Pollinator
  • Late Season Harvest

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Apricot trees and other fruit need at least 6 hours of full sun per day for the most flowers and fruit. Provide a location that has good air circulation and well-drained enriched soil. Fruit trees need moderate, yet consistent moisture during the growing season as well. Otherwise, you’ll enjoy a low-maintenance tree!

Canadian White Blenheim Apricot Tree is a unique gem of a fruit tree we’re sure no one else on the block has, but everyone will want a sample! Order yours at NatureHills.com to find this and other specialty fruit trees and more today!
