Anybody here having success with Apricots in the UK? Talk to me about it?


They are pretty marginal here, even on a south wall, as our summers
aren't reliably hot enough. I have know people who have succeeded,
though.



I had some lovely apricots, of several varieties, at a plum tasting
at Brogdale in Kent last year. The trees were grown in the
general shelter of a hedge but otherwise in the open. I don't
know whether the crop is reliable year after after year- my guess
is not.
