Plant height: The apricot tree can reach a height of 4-8 meters when fully developed, depending on the pruning techniques and the rootstock used.

Resistance and Origin: A historic Italian variety, well adapted to the peninsula's temperate climates. It offers good resistance to common apricot diseases, with appropriate cultivation practices. Sowing period: Sowing can be done in autumn (for natural winter stratification) or in late winter/early spring (after having performed artificial stratification). Harvest period: Ripening occurs at the end of June, offering fresh fruit at the beginning of summer. Optimal conditions for germination: To overcome dormancy, seeds require cold stratification for 60-90 days (ideal temperature between 1-5°C), keeping the substrate constantly moist. Soil type: Prefers deep, fertile, well-drained, medium-textured soil with a neutral or slightly calcareous pH. It is essential to avoid waterlogging. Recommended exposure: Requires a position in full sun, with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal production. Germination times: After the stratification period, germination usually occurs within 2-4 weeks, under favorable environmental conditions. Pot or open ground cultivation: The initial phase can take place in a large pot, but for optimal development and abundant production, planting in open ground is recommended.
