I'm in Ag Can Z4b (-30degC), and, although you can find Scout and other
varieties in some nurseries here I was advised to stay away from apricots. I
was told the trees would grow and even blossom but they probably wouldn't
set fruit (just as you described Jim).


Have any of you checked the pistils at flowering time to see if they were winter killed which would make them fruitless? Even with dead pistils the flowers will open. A late freeze a few weeks before opening can also damage them.
