I purchased an apricot tree from a nursery 5 yrs ago. The tree requires 600 chill hours. I live in Santa Barbara,Ca. We only get about 400 chill hours. The tree is very healthy and has many blooms in the spring but when the fruit gets about the size of an apple seed they begin to drop off until it finally winds up with only 4 or 5 apricots. the apricots are very large and have a good sweet flavor. My question is, will this tree eventually yield more fruit?
