â€˜Tomcotâ€™ is a slender, heavy cropping, self-fertile apricot variety. Producing a beautiful pink blossom in spring and red-flushed, orange fruit in late summer this tree will bring colour and vitality to your garden through the seasons. The tree will flourish if given plenty of sun, and kept in a sheltered position, especially if given protection from frost over the colder months.

Q:Does Height Really Matter?

A: Not As Much As You Might Think…

One stand out specification that customers often use to judge the value of a tree is the height. So should height directly correlate with the price of a tree? No, not necessarily.
To an extent the height of a tree can give you a good indication of its maturity but you must not forget: To grow a productive, well shaped, healthy tree you must prune it back regularly, especially when young.
Our trees often grow up to 2m in the fields before we prune them back and package them ready to send out. This pruning encourages the tree to grow more, stronger branches and ensures there is a good balance between the root size and top growth. This ensures that your tree puts energy into establishing a healthy root base instead of supporting top growth, providing a better foundation for your tree in the future.
So, in summary: Donâ€™t let the extra 10/20cm you may find elsewhere sway you. You are likely to be paying extra for the delivery costs and, if you want a healthy tree in the long run, youâ€™re going to have to chop it off anyway!
