Tomcot

• Check pollinators >

• Self-fertility: Self-fertile

Tomcot is a modern apricot variety, and one of the best-suited to temperate climates. Flowers open at different times over a relatively long period, which means a frosty night may not damage all the blossom.

The fruit is ripe when the orange skin develops a red flush on the side facing the sun (actually a mass of tiny red dots) - usually middle to end of July in the UK.
