One other feature of the P.G. that truly delights me is that
it began to bloom three weeks later than the Tomcots (March 31 vs. March
9). . . I don't know whether to attribute this late-blooming phenomenon to thecultivar, the rootstock, or orchard placement, although the tree is on
the warmer, upper part of my slope, which should have made it bloom
earlier than Tomcot. Whatever the cause, I hope this tendency
continues, as this bloom time difference can be critical to growing
apricots in my location.
Hi all,
A friend and I are thinking about putting in a few apricots. We've read Bob Purvis's suggestions of cultivars, If I could pick the perfect tree, it would have some resistance to bacterial spot, bacterial canker, and brown rot, and either bloom quite late or have good bud hardiness. What are you experiences?
My other question is one of rootstocks and suppliers.
Has anyone tried apricots on Krymsk 1 & 2? I'd like a rootstock that can handle less-than-well drained soils, that has some dwarfing effects, and that doesn't cause earlier blooming. Who sells apricots on Krymsk?
