Subject: [NAFEX] black apricot not self-fertile?
Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2007 11:39:55 -0500
About seven years ago we planted a couple of Tlor-Tsiran black
apricot trees, which are now huge. Each year we get maybe one fruit
between them. I'd heard that they were self-fertile, but perhaps I
was misinformed? They're in a row with a few other myrobalan plums
and a Parfait plumcot, all of which set fruit just fine. Last year we
added an apricot tree to the row, so maybe we'll get better results,
but I'm wondering if anyone on the list has personal experience with
the pollination needs of these trees... Thanks!
