Question:
I have just bought an apricot tree in a container (described as a hardy apricot) is it safe to plant out now or should I wait until weather improves?
Answer:
I would place it in a sheltered spot in the garden and cover with a layer of horticultural fleece until the worst of the weather has passed. Here are links to the Apricot page on the Fruit Expert and RHS which will give you more information about keeping your apricot.
