Hi Ginda,
Puget Gold is an excellent choice for your location in view of your
climatic zone and rainfall situation. Any one of the Harrow series
apricots--Harcot, Harogem, Harval, Hargrand, Harglow, and Harlayne, in
order of ripening--would be good also since they are from Ontario
province, but I would go for the last three as my choices. Cummins
Nursery in Geneva, NY sells them but they are out; however, Raintree
Nursery in Morton WA sells Harglow. Jerseycot (I am grafting some trees
for NAFEX members this spring) and Tomcot (Raintree has it) would be good
choices for early-ripening apricots; Puget Gold, Harglow, and especially
Harlayne ripen a month later than they do. I've eaten all these except
Harogem and Harval, and they all rank high in the flavor department!
The NY Cooperative Extension Service has published a very good bulletin on
growing apricots, which I have, and if you like I could send you a copy of
it. Cost for copying and mailing would be $2, and of course I would need
your name & address.

Hi, I'm interested in trying to grow apricots in Massachusetts. I've
ordered a Puget Gold on a full size stock and am also looking at the
miniature apricot sold by Stark Nurseries.
Any comments, advice, suggestions, etc. would be appreciated.
