Lon, and others -

So from various posts, it sounds like the rootstock isn't necessarily my 
problem (originally I was looking for info on rootstock to replace citation, 
since all my apricots have succumbed to pseudomonas, and/or a more apricot-
like plum or pluot, which don't seem to succumb).  I was attributing the 
pseudomonas to the poor drainage I have here.  But it sounds like it's the 
fruit variety that makes most of the difference as to resistance to 
pseudomonas.

So let me rephrase the question.  Does anyone know of pseudomonas-resistant 
apricots?

Thanks!

Laura
