Depending on the geographical areas and altitude sowing can take place from February to April. To obtain a more regular and faster germination stratify in cold the seeds for 4-5 months before the sowing. It is possible to use a sowing substrate for potting or soil from the garden together with a sowing substrate if the sowing is made directly into the garden. The substrate must be wet but not soggy until the germination is completed.
It prefers deep, light, dry and well-drained soils.
The apricot is consumed as a fruit in addition to being used in juices and jams.
Apricot oil is also extracted for the production of cosmetic products, such as masks to treat the skin, since it has vitamin A and antioxidants.
