Semi-Dwarf 4-in-1 Apricot Tree on Citation (Tomcot, Katy, Blenheim, Flavor Delight, or Royal Rosa) is a multi-grafted tree that produces a variety of delicious apricots across the summer season—all from a single tree. With four hand-selected varieties chosen for staggered ripening, this tree delivers a continuous harvest of fruit ranging from richly sweet to tangy and aromatic. Depending on the graft mix, it may include early Tomcot, flavorful Katy, heirloom Blenheim, interspecific Flavor Delight Aprium®, or fragrant Royal Rosa. Grafted onto Citation rootstock, this tree provides moderate vigor, soil adaptability, and reliable production, making it an excellent choice for home orchards and small gardens.

Growing Semi-Dwarf 4-in-1 Apricot Tree on Citation

Light: Needs full sun to develop the best sweetness, color, and yield.

Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil; enrich with compost or organic matter for optimal growth.

Water: Provide deep, consistent watering during the growing season, especially during fruit development. Reduce after harvest.

Fertilizer: Apply a balanced orchard fertilizer in early spring and midsummer to promote healthy growth and dependable crops.

Pollination: Self-fruitful; the grafted selections cross-pollinate with each other for reliable harvests.

Maintenance: Prune in late winter to balance growth among grafts, improve structure, and maintain productive fruiting wood. Thin fruit in early summer to ensure larger, higher-quality apricots.

Hardiness: Best suited for USDA zones 5–9. Ripening times vary based on grafted varieties, providing extended harvests from early to late summer.
