I'm on the Leeds/Wakefield Border in East Ardsley, and 2 years ago I put
in a maiden Apricot, against a wall. It's made slow progress, so I can't
report flowers or fruit yet. I'm training as a fan against the wall. I
thought I was mad (the family think so too :-) so I'm really glad to see
someone else wanting to try this. I'm not sure Kay has an apricot? I
don't
remember seeing one when she showed me round her garden a couple of
years
ago.


No, you're right, I don't have an apricot. Most warmth-loving fruit I
can offer is a fig, which is cropping well!

Sorry Kay, I thought I could remember an apricot on the wall of the
bedroom I slept in.

That was the wallpaper:-)
I can't remember where I saw it but someone has an apricot growing somewhere
in North Yorkshire. I know it's against a wall in a sheltered area but that
could fit a thousand places.
