Hi Karen,
I haven't had apricots, but the Nanking cherry branch dieback that we have experienced is due to a small worm. I understand that if the dead and wilting tips are removed cutting a little way into healthy tissue, and they are destroyed, that there is control possible. We don't get enough fruits to make that worthwhile

I plant the things and then hope hope for the best; they are for me
only, and I don't do much spraying. I've had good crops from my
Apricot (Sungold, or moongold. not sure) and nanking cherries-- but
first the cherries and now the apricots seem to have shoot die back,
and the apricots also seem to have what I think is shot hole
disease. One would have me spraying Copper at leaf fall, the other I
forget the possible cure.

Does anyone have trees that have survived these and continued to
produce without extensive spraying of various things?

I think I'll plant more blueberries.....
