I've got a bag of stones to plant - I want a hunza hedge...


Please tell us how you get on. My guess is that they would do
best in the poorest and stoniest soil, but might not fruit well
except in the very hottest summer.


I shall keep the group informed. Stones soaking now.


I'd still like to know if Hunza apricots are a particular variety, or
just the result of a particular way of drying any variety suitable
for that area. I fear I got tired of all the dross produced by Gg
when I searched on hunza apricot.

Certainly the kernels seem to taste sweeter than those of other
kinds, so presumably less cyanide.
