Hi Folks,

Does anyone know anything about the genetics of sweet pit or kernel apricots? 
 I sort of remember reading something about it quite a while ago when I 
wasn't living in an area that had lots of apricots, but i can't place where I 
read it.  It seemed like it was a fairly simple genetic trait that determined 
whether they were sweet and edible like almonds or whether they were bitter 
containing cyanide.
