The apricot tree is extremely resistant to low temperatures, which can reach up to -40 ^oC without threatening it. Nevertheless, during the period of the young fruits, it is particularly sensitive to areas of high humidity.

To thrive, the apricot tree requires fertile, deep soils with a pH of 6-7.5, and good drainage. In addition, it is recommended to avoid planting apricots in fields that were used for horticultural crops in the last four years before apricots were grown.
