Low trunk 80cm high - 5 litre pot. The Bergeron Apricot Tree is a popular tree for growing juicy, sweet apricots with a slightly acidic flavour. This tree is medium sized, with a dense, spreading crown and attractive blossoms in spring. Bergeron apricots usually ripen in July and are excellent for fresh consumption or processing. The tree does best in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil and requires a sunny, warm position. Regular watering and mulching will help to retain moisture and soil temperature. Pruning after harvest will promote air circulation and future fruit production. Bergeron is self-pollinating, but a second tree can increase yield.
A patio tree is a compact tree that has been specially selected or bred to be suitable for smaller gardens, terraces or patios. These trees are generally smaller in height and width than traditional trees, making them suitable for limited spaces. On average they grow to a height of +/- 150 cm (depending on pruning). They are often grown in containers or pruned in a special way to restrict their growth and control their size. Patio trees can range from flowering trees and fruit trees to ornamental trees, and they provide the benefits of trees, such as shade and aesthetic appeal, without taking up much space. They are ideal for urban environments and smaller outdoor spaces.
In the fall, the soil is still warm and moist, which means the trees will take root well in the soil. Plants that are planted in the fall have a better developed root system than plants that are planted in the spring. They will also grow better and be able to withstand periods of drought better. Because the trees are delivered in pots, they can be planted all year round.

Sjef van Dongen - Fruitzforlife
In 2020, Sjef and Wilma van Dongen transformed Sjef's uncle's pig farm into an agroforestry nursery . What began as experiments in their garden, Fruithof De Brand , has grown into a unique 6-hectare project where nursery and food forest come together.
Their focus is on the best, disease-resistant, and flavorful varieties —from mulberries, pawpaws, and leaf curl-free peaches to walnuts, chestnuts, and grapes. This creates a collection of plants that are not only beautiful and productive but also contribute to increased biodiversity.
Sjef combines a pragmatic approach with years of experience in the agricultural industry. This allows him to inspire and provide practical guidance to individuals, communities, and farmers alike in planting trees and shrubs. Using innovative techniques like Air-Pot® container cultivation, he also ensures strong planting material ready to grow into healthy, robust trees.
Their mission? To make people healthier and happier by connecting them with an environment full of edible trees and shrubs – a tangible step towards a greener future.

At FruitzforLife, they operate their 6-hectare nursery with a clear conviction: pesticides are unnecessary . They grow strong, resilient plants that are in harmony with their environment.
They grow a large portion of their plants themselves. They also collaborate with families and cutting companies in the Netherlands, France, Poland, and Germany who propagate their plants. This creates a network of growers who share the same vision.
Their nursery model allows farmers and families to plant fruit and nut trees for their own use, while simultaneously growing additional trees for sale. This way, they contribute to a greener future and generate additional income in the first few years after planting.
FruitzforLife operates in an environmentally conscious way : from wood fiber as a growing medium (instead of coir), recycled and reusable pots, and solar-powered electric vehicles to machines that run on biodiesel. Their application for Skal certification is also in progress.
Their nursery is located on two former intensive livestock farms. Where chickens, pigs, and cows once stood, trees and shrubs now flourish. Together with the former farmers and a dedicated team, they are building a chain of families committed to sustainability. This is how FruitzforLife is gradually changing the future – with an eye for people, nature, and future generations.
