The first few years I had apricots here we had harsh winters and even one
cold winter where we had zero snow until March 10th which they all came thru
just fine. Now the past few years everything has been dying back and just
plain dying. We have had two brutal falls in a row where we have moved from
summer to winter pretty much overnight: from growing and hot to freezing by
double digits and snow that stayed.
I have lost multiple Cowley, Scout, Westcot and Morden 604's. But this year, I
have a Cowley that had/has died back quite a bit break out in blossom on a few
pathetic branches. "Course its almost the only apricot I have left in my
orchard and the mice ate all the apricot seedlings I have in my seedling/graft
beds....

Are any of these
available here in the States?
I have grown Debbies Gold, M-609(?), Brookcot
and Wescot
successfully........................until they bear
fruit. Then they die
suddenly. So I would really love to grow an apricot
that bears ripe fruit.
