Just wondering - will an apricot seedling be OK as a tree? I know you can
grow peach trees & they reproduce, plums are OK, but "wild" cherries (i.e.
seedlings) don't... what about apricots? I just discovered one that's about
2 1/2' high underneath my tree in the backyard

Generally, NO. AFAIK, almost all fruit trees are grafted to take
advantage of the attributes of the root stock (that is one of the
factors that determines the tree's height). It is unlikely that a
seedling will produce well. I'm sure there are exceptions.
