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.
