Description
A highly regarded early-season apricot selected for its exceptional eating quality and reliable performance. Fireball™ produces medium-sized, freestone fruit with smooth dark orange skin and deep orange flesh. The fruit is incredibly sweet, juicy and aromatic, making it a standout choice for home orchards and fresh summer harvests.
Pollination: Partially self-fertile. For improved fruit set, plant with Spring Satin™ Plumcot, Dwarf Spring Satin™ Plumcot or another apricot variety flowering at the same time.
Harvest: December
Best Uses: Fresh eating, baking, bottling, jams and preserving.
Position: Full sun in well-drained soil.
Why We Love It: Dwarf Fireball™ is one of the earliest apricots to ripen, producing exceptionally sweet, juicy freestone fruit with outstanding flavour. It performs particularly well in Tasmania's warmer fruit-growing regions where early blossom is less likely to be affected by frost. Its compact size makes pruning, netting and harvesting easy, while the early harvest provides delicious homegrown apricots well before many other varieties are ready. Ideal for smaller gardens, courtyards and backyard orchards.
