The editor-in-chief of Mother Earth News asked me if I knew anyone who had 
apricot pits of a variety suitable for her climate.  She is in Zone 6, with 
the average last frost of April 21 and first frost of Oct. 11.  Her season 
is about 175 days.

She wants to try growing a tree from pits, since I raved about my 
experiences with growing Montrose from pits generously given by Del Stubbs. 
The magazine has slated an article on growing apricot trees from pits for 
late 2006.  I'm sure I'll be talking to some of you apricot enthusiasts 
early next year about your experiences.

Meanwhile, what varieties will grow for her and does anyone have or will 
have pits to give her?  I'll gladly pay the postage.
