Description
The Prunus armeniaca Bulida is an old variety of Spanish apricot tree that is interesting for its vigour, tolerance to dry and limestone soils, good productivity, and large tasty fruits. It is an excellent early variety to be reserved for regions spared by late frosts. Its large apricots have a yellow-orange flesh that is juicy, semi-firm, relatively sweet, and aromatic. Depending on the climate, they keep pretty well after harvesting, which starts in early June.
The apricot tree that we cultivate (in Latin Prunus armeniaca) was introduced into the Mediterranean basin from Armenia, hence its name. Four geographical subgroups have been determined. The 'Bulida' variety, often mistaken for 'Canino', was selected in the Murcia region of Spain. This apricot tree is sensitive to powdery mildew and brown rot (flowers) but resistant to wind and fruit drop. The tree is susceptible to bacterial canker.
The Bulida Apricot Tree is adapted to the Mediterranean climate. However, it will also adapt well against a sunny wall in colder regions in winter. Indeed, the tree needs good sunlight and warmth to produce high-quality fruits.
Naturally, the apricot tree has a rounded habit, forming a dome. The branches grow in all directions regularly, hiding 2/3 of the trunk's height. The glossy green leaves are dentate, heart-shaped, and have long petioles.
The flowering of the Bulida Apricot Tree, which occurs in March, is early and can be destroyed by frost. The previous year's branches carry it. The flower has five petals of a slightly pinkish-white colour and red sepals. It is fragrant but lasts only a short time. The ovoid-shaped fruits of immense size reach maturity early in the season, in June. They are then soft-textured and light orange, sometimes speckled or washed with red in the sunlight.
The Bulida Apricot Tree is very productive and self-fertile. It does not require the presence of another apricot tree for pollination.
Apricots are consumed fresh, dried, or prepared in various ways: jams, pies, compotes, apricots in syrup... They are also found in savoury dishes such as rabbit with apricots and parsnips, an English recipe. Apricot juices are advantageously mixed with a touch of peach juice to balance the natural acidity of apricots.

Planting and care
The planting of the apricot tree preferably takes place at the beginning of winter, when the tree is in vegetative rest and before the frost. To plant multiple apricot trees, space them at least 1.5 m (5ft) apart. Dig a hole two to three weeks before planting, twice as wide and deep as the pot. On the day of planting, place the tree with its pot in a basin of water, in order to moisten the entire root ball by capillarity. Add compost to the bottom of the hole. Place the tree in the hole, fill with soil mixed with compost. Firmly tamp down around the base. The root ball should be completely covered. Water generously.
The Bulida Apricot Tree is not very demanding in terms of soil type, it adapts well to limestone and dry soils in summer. It will ideally thrive in a rich and light, fresh, and well-drained soil. It does not tolerate very clayey, suffocating or excessively wet soils. Plant it in a sunny location, sheltered from the wind.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
