As an average it takes about 27 degrees F or less to kill the blooms/ fruit
in Apricots. The exact temperature depends on what stage the blooms/fruit are
in. ... At 25 degrees F you can forget the crop.

Critical Temperatures: Early spring can cause fruit growers alot of sleepless nights.
Just be careful in cultivar selection, and as Richard says, pick the late
blooming ones.
Just imagine what a lovely warm summer we're going to have, too. Last July and August about killed me with humidity and high heat.
