One of the most peculiar properties of the apricot is its rapid powerful growing, early ripening and fruit-bearing.
Apricot trees start for bearing fruits in 3-4 years of the planting when exposed to grafting and in 5-6 years they give industrial crop in amount 50-100kg from each tree. Later it is possible to take approximately 200 kg and in certain cases about 500 kg of the harvest. Its peculiarity is that it lives long and can give fruits during a century (100 years).
