Key Points
Limited Space: Specifically designed for small spaces, the Compacta apricot tree's maximum height of around 6 feet (2 meters) makes it ideal for gardens or patios with restricted areas.
Abundant Fruit Production: Despite its small size, the Compacta apricot tree yields heavy crops of apricots, allowing for a bountiful harvest in limited spaces.
Self-Fertile: The tree is self-fertile, eliminating the need for another apricot tree for cross-pollination. This makes it convenient for smaller gardens where planting multiple trees may not be feasible.
Summer Harvest: Producing juicy, orange apricots with sweet freestone flesh during mid-summer, the fruits are delicious fresh and suitable for making jams or preserves.
Adaptability to Containers: The Compacta apricot tree can thrive in pots or containers, making it advantageous for those with limited garden space or those who prefer container gardening.
Winter Protection: While frost-hardy, providing some winter protection might be necessary in colder climates. However, its compact size simplifies covering or protection compared to larger fruit trees.
Low Maintenance: With a slow growth rate, the Compacta apricot tree requires less pruning and maintenance than larger fruit trees, appealing to gardeners seeking a fruit tree with lower care demands.
In summary, planting a Compacta apricot tree allows for homegrown fruit enjoyment in limited spaces without compromising on taste or yield. Its compact size, self-fertility, adaptability, and low maintenance needs make it an attractive option for small gardens, patios, or container gardening.

Recycled Growing Media
At Lincs Plants, we’re proud to use a recycled, peat free growing mix that’s made right here in Lincolnshire. It’s made from coir with around 20% silt loam added in.
The coir keeps the mix light and free draining, while the silt loam adds structure and helps hold moisture and nutrients. By recycling used media and using locally sourced materials, we cut down on waste and reduce the need for imported peat based composts.
This home grown mix is part of our commitment to sustainable growing and supporting local production wherever possible.
At Lincs Plants, we operate from two main locations. When you place an order, we prepare and pack plants across both sites depending on what you’ve ordered.
Site 1 – Packing and Distribution
This site holds:
Oxygenating bunches
Loose lilies
Aquarium plants
Snails
Pots
Pond packs
Site 2 – Growing Site
This site holds:
Potted lilies
Potted plants
Plugs
Floating plants
Tropical plants
Fruit trees
We start processing orders each morning at 8am.
Orders that include items from Site 2 are dispatched the following day.
Orders that only include items from Site 1 are usually dispatched the same day.
During our peak periods, we can process up to 3,000 orders a day across multiple departments. Each department either supports a main packing team or packs orders directly.
We have five collections a day, so orders can leave throughout the day as soon as they’re ready.
During busy times, if we experience any delays, we’ll post updates on our social media and website to give everyone a heads up. This helps keep customers informed if there’s likely to be a delay of a few days.
