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
