Have you considered the "Hunza" variety that Raintree Nursery sells. Central Asian apricots are know for their late bloom, usually 3 to 4 weeks later than American/European varieties. The problem with the "Hunza" variety in my area is we do not have enough chill hours, the "Hunza requires more than 1000 hours of chill, it comes from an general area that we used to call Kashmir in the lower hill valleys of the Himalayan Mountains, so you know it has to be fairly cold hardy. It has not been in this country long so there is little information available other than it has high sugar.

When I searched on 'Debbie's Gold' I came across this website among others.

Nice, pretty website but limited information on Debbie's Gold apricot.

My question is: Are there any late blooming hardy apricots? My neighbor has
a couple of Strathmores, but frost has always killed the blossoms in Spring.
