Bergeval Aviclo Apricot Tree: A High-Performance Variety for French Producers

As a specialist wholesale supplier of apricot plants , Arboriverse will help you choose the most suitable varieties for your orchard. The Bergeval Aviclo apricot tree is renowned for its vigor, disease resistance, and exceptional fruit quality. Ideal for apricot growers in France , this variety is distinguished by its late flowering, reducing the risk of spring frost, and its ability to adapt to various climates and soil types. Buying Bergeval Aviclo apricot plants from Arboriverse means benefiting from the expertise of a reliable supplier and tailored support to optimize your production.


Tasty and Marketable Fruits

The Bergeval Aviclo apricot stands out for its great taste . Its orange flesh, fine and firm, slightly melting, offers a perfect balance between sugar and acidity. With a generous size (4.5 to 5.5 cm in diameter for 54 to 74 g), these fruits are prized on the fresh market, but also in food processing (jams, compotes, pastries).


Storage and transport

  • At room temperature : 4 to 5 days away from light.
  • In the refrigerator : Up to one week to prolong freshness.
  • Frozen : 8 to 12 months for deferred use.

Thanks to its thick, two-tone skin, the Bergeval Aviclo apricot stands up well to handling and short-distance transport. However, its sensitivity to skin cracking makes it less suitable for long journeys.


A Vigorous Tree Adapted to French Climatic Conditions

The Bergeval Aviclo apricot tree is perfectly suited to deep, well-drained, slightly chalky soils . It is relatively drought-resistant, but requires a sunny location sheltered from cold winds.

  • Regular and abundant production from the 3rd year.
  • Late flowering in April , ideal for avoiding spring frosts.
  • Semi-early harvest :
    • South of France : From July 15.
    • Northern France : Around July 25.

Thanks to its late flowering , this variety fits perfectly into a complementary production schedule with other early varieties.


Self-fertility and Cross-pollination

The Bergeval Aviclo apricot tree is self-fertile , capable of bearing fruit without any other tree nearby. However, cross-pollination with another apricot variety can improve yield and fruit quality .


Disease Resistance and Pest Susceptibility

One of the major advantages of this variety is its resistance to plum pox virus and bacterial wilt. However, it can be susceptible to certain soil diseases such as root rot and verticillium wilt in cases of excess moisture.


Pest Monitoring and Control

  • Aphids : Reduce the vigor of the tree.
  • Mites : Cause foliage deformation.

Biological and preventative treatments based on sulfur and copper are recommended to protect your orchard .


A Wide Choice of Rootstocks Suitable for Cultivation in France

The choice of rootstock influences the productivity and longevity of the apricot tree. We recommend:

  • AZUMA® PEPS 1036 : Tolerance to calcareous soils and improvement of vigor.
  • IZIAGAT : Ideal for dry and draining soils.
  • JENGAT : Good resistance to soil diseases and drought.

Our experts will advise you on choosing the rootstock best suited to your soil and growing method .


Moderate Yield, but High Quality Fruits

With an average yield of around 5 kg per tree , the Bergeval Aviclo variety focuses on the quality of the fruits , their size and their adaptability to short circuits .


Commercial uses

  • Fresh sale : Ideal for local markets.
  • Processing : Perfect for jam, compotes and baking.
  • Artisanal production : Excellent for purees and nectars.

Although less suited to long circuits , the Bergeval Aviclo apricot offers excellent profitability on local markets and in processing .
