Default Lecture on growing Apricots in cold climates

Apricots ;-)

Actually, pretty good. Nice and sweet . I usually grab some as I
pass by when mowing.

The last two seasons haven't been good. In 2002 we had the latest
frosts I've ever seen in this part of PA May 21 and 22 as I recall.
That did in the cherries, apricots and apples. In 2003 we had an
unusually wet spring and again, there was a poor yield on the fruit
trees. Ahh. Maybe things will be better this year.

I live in PA at the junctions of zones 5 &6 and I've got an apricot
tree that's been growing well here and thrives on benign neglect. It
was called a Manchurian apricot and came from one of the nurseries as
a bonus a number of years ago.
