Hello all:

Craig Ledbetter (sp?) sent me some scionwood of some of the Pakistan 
apricots that they had grown.  Two of the selections took.  They 
survived -17F and appear to be very resistant to bacterial spot.

The fruit are small and ripen later than anything else I have.  They 
bloomed a day or two earlier....reports of their blooming late may be 
related to their wanting higher chilling requirements than California 
delivered.

I will let you know how they taste when they ripen.
