I had an apricot in a similar spot. It dropped dead for unknown reasons two 
years ago, but it fruited pretty reliably until then. I planted a replacement 
in the same spot last spring, and the baby tree set a couple of fruits this 
spring.

Is this an ok (longevity, etc.) location for an apricot tree: sandwiched in 
between two large trees, each far enough away to allow it a 15' spread, but 
will block most western and eastern sunlight; so that it only receives 
southern-light?





Will that be sufficient?  I think peach and certain other Prunus spp. cannot 
take that, but I think that apricot and sour-cherry, as another Prunus spp., 
can.





Thanks,
