Sowing and harvesting period: Sowing: Sowing apricot seeds requires cold stratification and can be done in autumn for natural spring germination, or in early spring after artificial stratification. Harvest: Early ripening allows the fruit to be harvested around June 10th, with timing varying slightly depending on the specific climate zone. Optimal conditions for germination: Seeds require a period of cold stratification (typically 60-90 days at 2-5°C) to overcome dormancy. Subsequently, they require moist but well-drained soil and mild temperatures (around 18-22°C) for germination. Soil type: Prefers fertile, deep, well-drained soil with a neutral or slightly acidic pH (pH 6.0-7.0). Avoid heavy, waterlogged soils. Recommended exposure: It requires a position in full sun for at least 6-8 hours a day to ensure vigorous growth and abundant, quality fruiting. Germination time: After proper stratification, germination can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on environmental conditions and seed treatment. Pot or open ground cultivation: Although open ground cultivation is recommended for optimal development and maximum production, the Early Imola Apricot can also be grown in very large pots (min. 50-80 litres) with appropriate pruning and care.
