How deep do apricot tree roots grow?

Apricot tree roots typically grow to a depth of about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 centimeters), although some roots can extend deeper in search of moisture and nutrients. The majority of the root system, however, is concentrated in the top 12 to 18 inches of soil, where they can effectively absorb water and nutrients. The specific depth can vary depending on soil conditions and water availability.
