Caren,
I would second most of what Douglas wrote...
On apricots, I have tried quite a few near Quebec, including Morden 604 and
Brookcot - all failed...
Dom.Damas would probably be the local Damas Bleue, or "prune du pays" - I
have it, the fruit is very small but excellent.
I also second the Mont-Royal plum recommendation - by far the best European
plum for our climate.
I have never tried Priscilla or Nova Easy Gro apples. I also second Doug's
suggestion to look at the wiki of grou.ps - I have done quite a bit on
it... Most of the pictures are from my orchard, but there is currently a
bug in the system and some of the pictures don't show up - this will be
fixed soon.

I am always trying to find space for another fruit so I have carved out a
small area that's pretty sheltered that I think would be good for a small
tree. I am always attracted to apricots but have been warned that I'm
unlikely to get fruit up here with the changeable spring weather we have (
26 degC last saturday, 2 degC today).
Apricots that are locally available and suitable for my zone are Scout and
Morden 604. I don't know what either are like taste-wise.
Otherwise I was thinking of another European plum to help boost yields on
my Mirabelle. There is a variety listed as Dom. Damas, does anyone have any
experience with it?
Whatever the tree I would like something attractive as it will be very
visible from the house.
On another note I lost an apple whip so I was looking for a replacement
tree. Again locally ( I have missed the boat for most mail-orders) there
are Priscilla or Nova Easy Gro available that looked interesting to me.
If anyone has any advice on these varieties, I would be glad to hear it.
