I contacted Bob about z4 apricots for the east this fall. He said that Henderson, Alfred, and Precious would have a good chance, and thought that Early Blush and Sugar Pearls were worth experimenting with but might not make it. He is out of stock for 2011, but you can contact him (USPS/sase) at the address Lon posted above for more info about spring 2012.

Cummins Nursery has been grafting small amounts of trees from Bob's scions and earlier I ordered Debbie's Gold for this spring. They still have Henderson available.

"Har- series apricots, were developed at the Harrow, Ontario station of Agriculture Canada to be productive and survive in the Great Lakes area.  They are characterized by good disease resistance, resistance to fluctuating winter temperatures, and good fruit quality, and moderate cold-hardiness (to -30F).  Harcot is the most cold-tender of them and is not recommended for anywhere in MN.  Harglow is considerably more cold-hardy, and in increasing order of cold hardiness you have Hargrand, Harogem, and Harlayne."..."Harlayne  is not self-fruitful.  The other Harrow apricots are self fruitful."

Harlayne has fantastic flavor, at least here. Harogem and Hargrand, not so much.
