Consejos de cultivo
Apricots bloom 2-3 weeks before peaches; plant on north-facing slopes to delay bloom and reduce frost damage risk.
Thin fruit to 5-7 cm apart when marble-sized; apricots set heavy crops that produce small, unmarketable fruit without thinning.
Dried apricots retain value better than fresh; consider on-farm drying if you lack access to premium fresh-market channels.
