I set out two Moongold and two Sungold last fall that I got on an
end-of-season sale. Against all advice from Extension, I planted them
last October on a slight southeast slope, and again against all advice
from Extension, I expected apricot to grow in Iowa. (They didn't know
that my family has always had apricots.)
Despite a dry winter, and heavy clay soil with moderate drainage, they
did well this year. They set a lot of fruit, which all dropped. There
was some insect damage on the leaf margins earlier because of a cold,
wet spring. They are looking good, thriving, and I'm looking forward to
homemade apricot jam again.
No rodent damage yet.
