Early July
Discovered in 1868 by court gardener Glocker in Enyed, Hungary, this variety spread primarily across the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is widely grown in Hungary and also in our region. When looking for an apricot variety with these qualities, this cultivar is highly sought after. Harvested fruits are resistant to transport effects and have a surprisingly long shelf life due to this transport stability.
The flesh is sweet-tart, juicy, with pronounced aroma.
The fruit is large, weighing around 50 grams, round, with shades of yellow, orange, and red, and speckled. The skin is orange, with the sun-exposed side covered in light red, showing dark red spots. This variety often has brownish-rusty spots on the skin, especially in wetter years. The flesh is orange, firm, juicy, and of high quality. The stone is medium-sized and separates easily from the flesh.
Self-pollinating.
Resistant to low temperatures, frost, pests, and diseases, but sensitive to apoplexy (tree drying).
You can purchase seedlings of Apricot Hungarian Best at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.

Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
