Sam -

Cool.  Kind of.  I guess it just means keep grafting till you find one
that works.  Well, I have 5 untested scion varieties in my fridge
waiting for the weather to warm up.  The last time I grafted apricots
the grafts all took and then promptly died a lovely oozy death...so if
any of these survive, I'll let the list know in a couple of months.

Thanks!

Laura

Subject: RE: Pseudomonas-resistant apricot cultivars


Sam, Unfortunately I do not. This does not mean that none exist...just
none that I am familiar with. As you are probably aware, apricot is
considered to be the most susceptible of all the stone fruits to
bacterial canker. One thing that you may not be aware of is that the
degree of susceptibility may be influenced by where it is grown (i.e.,
susceptible in NY, but not in MN). This is at least true for sweet
cherry (of which I am most familiar). Not so much for the varieties that
are considered highly susceptible, but for those intermediately
susceptible varieties. Basically, I am just trying to warn you that
susceptibility ratings in one part of the world may not be applicable in
MN.
