Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Deciduous, perennial fruit tree. It usually begins producing fruit 3-5 years after planting, providing a plentiful harvest for many years to come. Plant Height: When fully mature, the 'Cremonini' apricot tree can reach a height of 3-5 meters, depending on pruning techniques and growing conditions. Uses: Ideal for fresh consumption, thanks to its sweet flavor and firm pulp. Also perfect for making jams, marmalades, juices, syrups, and cakes.

Resistance and Origin: A robust variety with good resistance to common fruit tree diseases. Suitable for various temperate climates. Our non-GMO seeds are sourced from controlled sources, selected for their excellent performance. Sowing Time: Sowing can be done in autumn for natural stratification during the winter, or in late winter/early spring after subjecting the seeds to artificial cold stratification (typically 4-8 weeks at 2-4°C). Harvest Period: Early variety, the fruit generally ripens in early July, allowing you to enjoy the first fresh apricots of the season. Optimal Germination Conditions: Cold stratification is essential to overcome dormancy. After stratification, seeds require constant humidity and ambient temperatures of around 20-25°C to germinate.
