Loosen the surrounding soil to encourage root penetration, then backfill and water thoroughly to establish contact. Water weekly during the growing season unless natural rainfall provides approximately one inch every ten days. In fall plantings, delay fertilizer application until spring; once fruiting begins, apply high-nitrogen fertilizer as needed. Prune annually during dormancy (late winter in zones 6 and colder) using an open-center shape to maximize light penetration and fruit production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"5 Gallon","offer_id":45814339272890,"sku":"17510","price":299.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/blenheim-apricot-tree.jpg?v=1777510073","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/blenheim-apricot-tree","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
